Restoring Your Smile: Tooth Replacement Options at Reno Oral Surgery

Losing a tooth can affect both confidence and oral health. At Reno Oral Surgery, Dr. Daniel Muff specializes in advanced tooth replacement solutions to help patients in Reno, NV, restore function and aesthetics to their smiles.

Why Replace a Missing Tooth?

Tooth loss is more than just a cosmetic issue. It can lead to:

• Shifting teeth – Remaining teeth may move into the gap, causing misalignment and bite issues.
• Bone loss – Without a tooth root, the jawbone can deteriorate over time.
• Difficulty chewing – Missing teeth can make it harder to eat certain foods.
• Speech problems – Gaps in teeth may affect pronunciation.

Tooth Replacement Options at Reno Oral Surgery

Dr. Daniel Muff offers multiple solutions for restoring your smile with durable, natural-looking results. The best option for you will depend on bone health, budget, and long-term goals.

1. Dental Implants

Dental implants are the most advanced and long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. A titanium post is surgically placed in the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root for a crown, bridge, or denture.

Benefits of Dental Implants:

• Permanent and durable
• Helps prevent bone loss
• Restores natural function and appearance
• No need to alter surrounding teeth
• High success rate

Ideal Candidate: Patients with sufficient bone density and good overall health.

2. Implant-Supported Dentures

Traditional dentures can feel loose or uncomfortable over time. Implant-supported dentures offer a more secure fitby anchoring the denture to dental implants placed in the jawbone.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures:

• No slipping or movement
• Increased comfort and stability
• Improved chewing ability
• Helps maintain jawbone integrity

Ideal Candidate: Patients missing most or all of their teeth who want a more stable alternative to traditional dentures.

3. Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a prosthetic device used to “bridge” the gap left by a missing tooth. It is supported by the surrounding natural teeth or implants.

Benefits of Dental Bridges:

• Restores function and aesthetics
• Quicker than dental implants
• Non-surgical solution

Ideal Candidate: Patients with healthy adjacent teeth that can support the bridge.

What to Expect During the Tooth Replacement Process

At Reno Oral Surgery, every treatment is tailored to the patient’s needs. Here’s what to expect:

1. Consultation and Evaluation
Dr. Muff will assess your oral health, take digital imaging, and discuss your best tooth replacement options. If implants are the best choice, we will also evaluate bone density.

2. Treatment Planning
A custom treatment plan will outline the timing, number of appointments, and cost considerations.

3. Tooth Replacement Procedure

• For dental implants, the titanium post is placed in the jawbone and allowed to heal before the final restoration.
• For implant-supported dentures, multiple implants are placed to secure the denture.
• For dental bridges, the adjacent teeth are prepared, and the custom bridge is secured in place.

4. Healing and Follow-Up
Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided to ensure a smooth recovery. Follow-up appointments will monitor healing and adjustments as needed.
