Missing One Tooth? Complete Your Smile Naturally with a Single Tooth Denture

If you think one missing tooth won’t make much difference to your smile, think again! That one missing tooth could throw off your bite or cause other teeth to shift out of alignment to fill the gap left by your lost tooth. Losing a front tooth can wreak havoc on your smile! Fortunately, you can replace a missing tooth quickly and easily with a single tooth denture. An evaluation by Dr. William Proffitt at Proffitt Dentistry in Maryville, Tennessee, can determine if a single tooth denture is a good fit for you. 

What is a Single Tooth Denture?

Single tooth dentures are partial dentures designed to replace individual missing teeth. Dr. Proffitt will customize your denture to closely resemble the rest of your teeth so that it fits in naturally with your smile. Your denture will consist of a prosthetic tooth attached to a gum-colored base, which slides into the gap left by your natural tooth. When in use, your tooth will be held in place by metal clasps that attach to adjacent natural teeth. At night, you can remove your denture for cleaning. 

Advantages of Completing Your Smile with a Partial Denture

Although several dental options exist for replacing single missing teeth, none are as simple or convenient as single tooth partial dentures. Here are some advantages of choosing this procedure:

• Affordability – Single tooth dentures are more affordable than implants or fixed bridges, making this procedure accessible to many
• Convenience – The procedure is quick, easy, and minimally invasive and can generally be completed in two dental visits. The process of repairing or replacing your denture is also fairly simple, should you have need
• Appearance – Your denture can be customized for a smooth, comfortable fit and natural-looking appearance
