Let's face it - there is never really a good time to lose one or several natural teeth. But whether through an accident like a sports collision, a fall, a car accident, or as a result of severe tooth decay or periodontal (gum) disease, tooth loss can happen to anyone. The good news is that there are now more options available than ever before to replace missing teeth in a natural looking and in many cases non-invasive way.
While dentures have come a long way since the days of our great-grandparents and now offer several modern, sophisticated options to replace full or partial tooth loss, they are no longer the only option for people in need of new teeth.
Tooth Replacement Options in Santa Cruz, CA
Santa Cruz, CA based dentist Dr. John Baron offers both traditional and modern options for replacing everything from one missing tooth to all teeth in the upper or lower jaw or both. Some of the dental replacement options available at Dr. Baron's Santa Cruz office include:
- Crowns and Bridges
- CEREC Same Day Crowns
- Implant Prosthetics
- Dentures
- Small Diameter Implants
Dental Implants or Dentures - Which Option is Right for You?
The first step in determining how to replace missing teeth is to schedule a comprehensive oral examination with a dentist. While many people are candidates for dental implants, which are unique in that they replace the root of the missing tooth as well as the tooth itself, they do require enough surrounding healthy bone tissue in the jaw in order to be successful. Crowns, bridges and dentures can provide natural looking and attractive results. The best option typically comes down to individual choice and preferences for each patient.

- Eat healthy
- Schedule regular dental visits
- No slip-ups – enjoy your Christmas meal and New Year’s cheers without worrying about dental implants slipping in the mouth.
- Comfortable – Just like that warm Christmas sweater, implants fit perfectly in that open space. Plus, you don’t have to remove much of the surrounding teeth to place an implant.
