Losing a tooth can change more than just your smile—it can affect how you eat, speak, and feel about yourself. Thankfully, modern dentistry offers effective and natural-looking solutions to restore your confidence and oral health. Whether you’re missing a single tooth or several, today’s options are designed to be comfortable, long-lasting, and tailored to your needs.
Dental implants are often the most popular choice because they look and function just like natural teeth while also protecting your jawbone and surrounding teeth. For others, bridges and dentures provide reliable alternatives that can bring back the ability to chew, speak, and smile with ease.
At Lindahl Family Dental, we’ll walk you through your options and create a personalized plan that fits your lifestyle and budget, ensuring you leave with a complete, healthy smile you can feel good about.
Tooth replacement options include:
Bridges
A bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace a missing tooth by joining an artificial tooth permanently to adjacent teeth or dental implants. Types of bridges may vary, depending upon how they are fabricated and the way they anchor to the adjacent teeth. Conventionally, bridges are made using the indirect method of restoration. However, bridges can be fabricated directly in the mouth using such materials as composite resin.

Dentures
Removable Dentures
Removable partial dentures are for patients who are missing some of their teeth on a particular arch.
Fixed Dentures
Fixed partial dentures are made from crowns that are fitted on the remaining teeth to act as abutments and pontics made from materials to resemble the missing teeth.
Implant Dentures
An implant-retained denture is a denture held in place by implants. Usually two to four implants are surgically placed in the bone and become anchored as the bone heals and secures itself to the implant. Once the bone has healed, Dr. Lindahl can create an implant denture. An implant denture is a removable denture with attachments on the underside that clip onto a bar connected to the implants. The attachments and bar hold the denture in place and keep it from moving when chewing and speaking. Implant dentures can be classified into two groups: Implant Retained Dentures and Implant Supported Dentures. Implant Retained Dentures are held in place by the attachments, but are mainly supported by the bone and gum tissue as is a conventional denture. Implant Supported Dentures are for patients who do not have sufficient bone and supporting gum tissue. This denture is mainly supported by the bar attached to the implants.
