Tooth Replacement Naperville
Replace missing teeth with dental implants, bridges, or dentures using a plan designed around your health, function, and goals.
Options for Replacing Missing Teeth
Even one missing tooth can change how you chew and how neighboring teeth share space and biting forces. When several teeth are missing, function and confidence can be affected even more. At Gantos Dental Group in Naperville, we help patients compare replacement options and understand the advantages and tradeoffs of each.
Depending on your situation, treatment may involve dental implants, All-on-4® implants, a porcelain bridge, full or partial dentures, or a combination of approaches. The right choice depends on your remaining teeth, gums, bone, bite, budget, and long-term priorities.
When Should You Consider Tooth Replacement?
A replacement consultation may help if you have:
- One missing tooth
- Several missing teeth
- A gap that affects chewing
- Teeth shifting into an open space
- A removable denture that feels unstable
- A tooth that may need extraction
- Difficulty eating certain foods
- Interest in a fixed replacement option
- Questions about full-arch replacement
