Single Tooth Replacements in Houston, TX

Our Houston Implant Dentists Can Complete Your Smile

It’s important not to ignore or put up with missing teeth, especially if you’re missing several in a row. Not only is missing teeth a cosmetic issue, but it’s also a health concern. To stay as healthy as possible, you must replace missing teeth.

At Antoine Dental Center in Houston, TX, Dr. Behzad Nazari and our dental team provide a variety of tooth replacement options to ensure your oral health is strong enough to support a healthy high-fiber diet. We understand the importance of a healthy diet and how essential a strong, sturdy set of teeth is for your ability to make healthy food choices.

Reasons for Tooth Replacement

Tooth Decay

Tooth decay is the most common dental care concern. If left unchecked, it can start a cycle of tooth loss that’s hard to break without some sort of tooth replacement. When bacteria infect one tooth, it can lead to tooth decay and can easily spread to another. If the tooth decay gets to the point you lose the tooth, the teeth on either side of the missing one become more susceptible to tooth decay. Unless you’re careful, one missing tooth can lead to several missing teeth.

Gum Disease

Another common problem associated with oral health is gum disease. Like tooth decay, gum disease is caused by bacteria in your mouth. The early stages of gum disease are hard to detect because the symptoms are very subtle. Slight gum irritation and bleeding may be the only things you notice, and there’s often no pain, so you may even write off the symptoms you recognize.

Unfortunately, many people don’t begin to suspect they have gum disease until it’s in its advanced stage, also known as periodontitis. At this stage, the gum pockets bulge and swell and become severely infected. At the same time, your gums recede away from your teeth. Your gums are part of your teeth’s foundation, so when your gum mass decreases, your teeth loosen and eventually fall out unless you undergo gum disease treatment early. Additionally, the bacteria ravaging your gums are also harmful to your teeth.

Injury

Accidents happen. The only thing you can do is be careful and be prepared. Often, it’s possible to reinsert a knocked-out tooth to heal back into place. Time is of the essence, so you will need to get to our Houston dental office as soon as possible. Be sure to keep your tooth submerged in milk to keep it healthy while waiting for emergency care. Sometimes, though, your tooth might be too damaged, or you won’t be able to find it. In that case, Antoine Dental Center has tooth replacement solutions to ensure you don’t sacrifice your health because of an accident.

Our Tooth Replacement Options

Dental Implants

Dental implants function, look and feel like natural teeth. We implant a titanium post into the jawbone. After it heals, we place a dental crown on top. This restoration is a secure and sturdy tooth replacement with no diet restrictions. You will be able to handle all the dietary fiber you need to stay healthy and won’t have to deal with any slippage, as you might with dentures. This is often the best option if you are missing a single tooth.

Partial Dentures

Removable partial dentures are designed for patients missing some, but not all, teeth. They attach to your existing teeth and are a budget-friendly, non-surgical option.

Full Dentures

Complete dentures are used when all teeth in an arch (upper or lower) are missing. They rest on the gums and are removable. Today’s dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever, though they may need adhesive and periodic adjustment.

Implant Supported Bridge

If you’re missing several teeth in a row, an implant-supported bridge can replace them without relying on natural teeth for support. Implants act as anchors for a multi-tooth restoration, offering more stability than traditional bridges.

Traditional Dental Bridge

A dental bridge fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth using neighboring natural teeth as anchors. It’s a good option if the surrounding teeth are healthy and strong, and it provides a functional, fixed solution.

All-on-X Implants (Full-Arch Restoration)

All-on-X is a permanent solution for patients missing most or all teeth in a single arch. Using 4–6 implants, a full set of teeth is securely anchored, offering the strength and appearance of natural teeth without the hassle of traditional dentures.

Understanding the Importance of Replacing Missing Teeth

Replacing missing teeth is not just a cosmetic concern—it’s essential for maintaining oral and overall health. When left untreated, missing teeth can lead to tooth shifting, bone deterioration, and increased risk of decay and gum disease. Additionally, tooth loss can affect your ability to chew properly, making it harder to maintain a nutritious, high-fiber diet. At Antoine Dental Center, we emphasize proactive care to prevent a cycle of tooth loss. Our team educates patients on how missing one tooth can compromise the stability of surrounding teeth and recommends replacement options that preserve jawbone structure and alignment. Early replacement ensures long-term oral health, preventing future complications and improving both functionality and appearance.

Dentures and Dental Implants—Tailored Options for Every Smile

At Antoine Dental Center, we offer a full range of tooth replacement options designed to meet your unique needs. Our dentures provide a quick and affordable way to replace missing teeth, whether it’s a single tooth or an entire arch. However, for patients seeking a permanent and stable solution, dental implants are the gold standard. Implants are securely anchored into the jawbone, preventing bone loss and offering a natural look and feel. Unlike removable dentures, implants restore complete chewing function and confidence without worrying about slippage. Our experienced dentists use advanced imaging and implant techniques to ensure precision and comfort. Whether you choose dentures or implants, our goal is to deliver reliable, long-lasting results that enhance your oral health and quality of life.
