Tooth Replacement Options
Wentworth Dental can help patients understand the dental implant options that may be available based on their oral health, number of missing teeth, and treatment goals.
Single Tooth Implants
Dental Crowns and Bridges
Tooth Extraction Planning
A missing tooth can create more than a visible gap in your smile. When a tooth is lost, surrounding teeth may shift into the open space, your bite may change, and chewing may become less comfortable. Over time, tooth loss can also affect the jawbone because the natural tooth root is no longer there to stimulate the area.
Dental implants can help support long-term oral function by replacing the root area with an implant post and restoring the visible tooth with a custom restoration. They may also help patients feel more confident speaking, eating, and smiling. Dental implants may help with:

Frequently Asked Questions
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are tooth replacement options designed to support restorations such as crowns, bridges, or other prosthetic teeth. The implant is placed in the jawbone to act as a stable foundation, while the visible restoration is designed to look and function like a natural tooth. At Wentworth Dental, our team can assess your oral health and explain whether dental implants may be suitable for your needs.
Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
You may be a candidate for dental implants if you are missing one or more teeth, have healthy gums, and have enough jawbone support for implant placement. Your medical history, oral hygiene, bite, smoking habits, and overall dental health can also affect candidacy. Wentworth Dental can evaluate your smile, review your goals, and explain whether implants or another tooth replacement option may be appropriate.
How long does dental implant treatment take?
Dental implant treatment usually takes more than one appointment because the implant area often needs time to heal before the final restoration is placed. The timeline can vary depending on your oral health, whether the tooth has already been removed, whether additional preparation is needed, and how your body heals. During your consultation, our team will explain the expected timeline for your specific treatment plan.
Can dental implants replace one missing tooth?
Yes. A single tooth implant may be used to replace one missing tooth without relying on nearby teeth for support. This can be a helpful option for patients who want a stable tooth replacement that supports chewing function and smile appearance. Wentworth Dental can assess the missing tooth area and explain whether a single tooth implant may be a suitable choice for your oral health.
What happens if I do not replace a missing tooth?
Leaving a missing tooth untreated can affect more than the appearance of your smile. Nearby teeth may shift, chewing may become less balanced, and the jawbone in the missing tooth area may change over time. Some patients may also notice changes in speech, bite comfort, or confidence. Replacing a missing tooth early can help support long-term function and reduce future dental complications.
If you are missing one or more teeth, Wentworth Dental can help you understand your replacement options and plan the next step with confidence.
