Candace DeLapp are  Highlands Ranch Cosmetic Dentists serving the Lone Tree, Centennial, Castle Pines, Englewood and the Greater Denver area.  Dentures may be one of several options available.  As a general rule, lower dentures are more complex to do that upper full dentures and much more difficult to wear than upper dentures.

Q. I have had my two top front teeth removed ,what is the alternative to dentures,as i only have one tooth to the right of the gap.   A. Thank you for your question The best thing to replace missing teeth are implants. You can have implants to replace individual teeth or you can have a couple of implants replacing 3 or 4 teeth.

Dental implant surgery is a wonderful option for many people, and if you have missing, broken, or gapped teeth, it may be the perfect option for you. It is important to understand that dental implants are not the same thing as artificial replacement teeth, but instead they are actually the threaded metal cylinders that serve as the roots of missing teeth. The dental implant surgery is quite mild when compared to other similar procedures. But, it can still get to be quite expensive, especially

Q. Hi I have a tooth that is pushed back and I am wondering about an implant. Would it be possible to remove the tooth and insert an implant in order that all my upper teeth are then in line. I hope to hear from you soon.   A. It is difficult to tell whether an implant would be possible without knowing how much space there is for an implant.
