Missing a tooth can impact more than just your smile. At Haven Dental PDX, we understand that every tooth plays a role in your overall oral health. Whether you're missing one tooth or many, we offer personalized, thoughtful, and long-lasting solutions to restore your function, comfort, and confidence.

​

Why Should I Replace My Missing Tooth?

​

When a tooth is lost, the consequences go beyond aesthetics:

​

• Shifting of other teeth into the gap, creating misalignment

• Changes in bite that can lead to jaw pain or tooth wear

• Bone loss in the jaw from lack of stimulation

• Difficulty chewing or speaking clearly

• Increased risk of future tooth loss

​

Types of Implant-Supported Prosthetics

​

Depending on your needs, implants can support:

​

• Single-Tooth Crowns – For one missing tooth

• Implant-Supported Bridges – Replace several teeth in a row with fewer implants

• Implant-Supported Dentures – Snaps onto 2–4 implants for improved stability

• All-on-X (also called All-on-4/6) – Full arch replacement using multiple implants and a fixed, non-removable prosthesis

​

Dentures and Partial Dentures

​

For some patients, removable prosthetics are the best fit for their lifestyle and needs.

​

Full Dentures

​

• Used when all teeth in an arch are missing

• Can be made to look natural and fit comfortably

• May be supported by implants for added security

​

Partial Dentures

​

• Replace several missing teeth while anchoring to remaining natural teeth

• A budget-friendly solution that can be updated as needed

​

We ensure your removable options are high-quality, well-fitting, and as natural-looking as possible.

​

Dental Bridges

​

A bridge uses adjacent teeth to "bridge" a gap created by one or more missing teeth.

​

• Typically involves crowns on neighboring teeth

• A non-removable solution

• Great for cases where implants aren't an option or patients want a faster solution

​

While bridges don’t prevent bone loss like implants, they restore chewing function and maintain alignment.
