Teeth are durable, but sometimes the damage is too severe, and a tooth cannot be saved. For example:
- A tooth broken at the gumline
- A loose tooth brought on by advanced gum disease
- A failed root canal treatment (in some cases)
- Significant damage
To be sure, your dentist will evaluate the tooth to determine whether it’s salvageable.
How Your Dentist in Greeley, CO, Saves Your Tooth
A custom dental crown is the most common restoration we use to save a damaged or at-risk tooth.
First, the dentist prepares the tooth. Then, we take impressions to fabricate the custom dental crown. When the crown arrives at our dental office, you come in for a final fitting and adjustments. We color-match crowns to match neighboring teeth.
When We Can’t Save Your Tooth
Following gentle tooth extraction, we discuss tooth replacement options. Replacing a lost tooth is vital to your ongoing dental health, oral function, and smile aesthetics.
Our tooth replacement options include:
- Dentures and Partials: Removable prosthetics that stand in for full or partial tooth loss
- Dental Implants: Tooth root replacements capped with crowns or bridges/dentures
- Dental Bridges: Restoration teeth connected to healthy teeth via dental crowns
