If you have missing teeth, there are several options available to you. At Houston Dentists of Tanglewood, Dr. Tom Hedge and his team can help you choose the best option for your needs. One option is dental implants, which involve surgically placing an artificial tooth root in your jawbone and then attaching a replacement tooth. Another option is a dental bridge, which involves placing a prosthetic tooth between two adjacent teeth. Dentures are also a common option, which are removable prosthetic teeth that can be custom-fitted to your mouth. Finally, there is the option of leaving the gap and not replacing the missing teeth, but this is not recommended and it can lead to problems such as shifting teeth and a change in bite. Whatever your needs, Houston Dentists of Tanglewood can help you find the solution that works best for you.
