Did you know that tooth loss affects millions of Americans every year? At Carrollwood Village Dental, we understand the importance of having a whole and healthy smile. Not only do restorations replace missing teeth, but they can also improve your oral health and self-confidence.

If you have an incomplete smile and are missing teeth, you may benefit from our comfortable and realistic tooth replacement options. Dr. Mancuso and our dental team provide families with the exceptional and compassionate dental care they deserve. Helping you achieve a healthier, more beautiful smile is our priority, and we are honored to help you reach your goals.

Here are four smile-saving tooth replacement options we offer at Carrollwood Village Dental.  

#1 Porcelain Dental Crowns

A dental crown acts as a suit of armor that protects a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth. A crown is made from porcelain, which is a sturdy tooth-colored material that completely covers the tooth in need of treatment. Porcelain is one of the best materials for dental restorations because it’s strong, resistant to stains, and natural-looking.

#2 Dentures

All of our dentures look, feel, and function like natural teeth, so you can enjoy living life again with a complete, sturdy set of pearly whites. We offer full, partial, and implant-supported dentures for patients who wish to restore their smiles.

Partials fill in the gaps between remaining natural teeth, while full dentures replace complete upper or lower arches of teeth. Implant-supported dentures are another option for patients who want the best of both worlds.

Instead of relying on the gums for support, these dentures are supported by dental implants. Four dental implants support the full dentures, securing the dentures in place and preventing them from shifting in the mouth. 

#3 Dental Implants 

Dental implants are ideal for anyone who has missing teeth and strong enough jawbones to hold the implant. Implants are surgically placed in the mouth to support replacement teeth. In addition to restoring your smile, dental implants promote jaw bone health and decrease your risk of experiencing oral bone loss. 

#4 Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers conceal minor dental flaws and concerns such as chipped, cracked, stained, slightly crooked, or slightly gapped teeth. Made from thin sheets of porcelain, veneers are applied to the front of your teeth and shaped to match your natural smile. Whether you want to improve a minor imperfection or you want a more dramatic alteration to your teeth’s appearance, porcelain veneers may be the treatment for you.
