We know that when we see 10 people with tooth loss, each of them will have a slightly different goal and their lifestyles will be different. Things like the type of food you like to eat, whether or not you play sports, if you are outgoing and gregarious or prefer to keep to yourself can impact which tooth replacement option is right for you. This is why when you come in for a consultation, we will take time to ask questions and get to know you. Asking about your hobbies and whether or not you work out may seem out of place for a dentist, but everything works together. For example, if your hobbies involve singing in the choir, dentures may not be a good solution for you because they could pop out of place. Simultaneously, if you like to run marathons, you will need a tooth replacement solution that will not become loose with aggressive impact. After asking you questions and conducting a physical examination, we will make a recommendation as to which option we feel will work best for your lifestyle. If you are a good candidate for all of them, we will let you know that as well, so you can ask more specific questions regarding the procedures and cost involved.<\/p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">Out of all of the missing tooth replacement options, which one is the most durable?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"><\/div>\n<a name=\"most-durable-tooth-replacement\"><\/a>\n<p>At SoCal Dental of Agoura, we can give you a well-made and durable replacement tooth, regardless of which option you select. However, if you are looking for a replacement option that looks, feels, and behaves like a natural tooth, a dental implant is the most effective. When completing this procedure, we implant a titanium post underneath the gums and secure it to the jawbone. This serves as a replacement root system. Over the course of one to several months, the titanium and bone will fuse together to create a new root system that is as strong as the original. The process of osseointegration makes it possible for us to give you a sturdy and durable tooth replacement you can count on. In our  dental office, we will then attach a new tooth that has been specifically created to blend in with your surrounding teeth. An implant is the next best thing to a natural tooth. It is important to note that this is a surgical procedure, and in order to qualify, your jawbone will need to have sufficient density. As such, not everyone qualifies for the procedure. There are, however, other durable replacement solutions, such as a dental bridge.<\/p>\n<p>A bridge is created by securing a dental crown to the two teeth surrounding the missing one. These crowns serve as anchors to hold a gum-colored bridge in place that a new tooth is secured to. This is the most durable, non-surgical solution you can get to replace a missing tooth, because it is firmly attached. Many of our patients prefer this as an alternative to dentures, while being less invasive than implants. During a consultation, we can explain the benefit of both options so you can determine which solution will work best for you. Additionally, if you have any restrictions, such as your remaining teeth not being healthy enough to support a bridge, we will let you know and suggest a different solution.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, dentures are an ideal way to replace missing teeth. While not as durable or sturdy as an implant or bridge, they do have their place. Dentures are an ideal immediate solution while waiting for another cosmetic procedure. Also, if you have suffered from resorption and do not have any strong, remaining teeth, they may be necessary. In this situation, modern dentistry has made it possible to wear a set of dentures that looks natural and is less likely to fall out of place.<\/p>\n<\/div><!-- \/.col -->\n<\/div><!-- \/.row -->\n<\/div><!-- \/.main-service-content .section-block --><!-- \/sContent mute -->\n\n<div class=\"call-out center-align bg-secondary\"><!-- sContent-Yelp -->\n<p id=\"yelp-reviews-agoura-hills-ca\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"><\/i> Check out what others are saying about our dental restoration services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Options for Replacing Missing Teeth Agoura Hills\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/socal-dental-of-agoura-agoura-hills\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Options-for-Replacing-Missing-Teeth\">Options for Replacing Missing Teeth Agoura Hills<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><!-- \/.call-out --><!-- \/sContent-Yelp -->\n\n<div class=\"main-service-content section-block\"><!-- sContent Background -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">Agoura Hills Options for Replacing Missing Teeth<\/h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"><\/div>\n<a name=\"agoura-hills-ca-options-for-replacing-missing-teeth\"><\/a>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">Will my missing tooth replacement options be influenced by my age?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"><\/div>\n<a name=\"age-determine-my-options\"><\/a>\n<p>At SoCal Dental of Agoura, our goal is to provide you with a tooth replacement solution that is beautiful, natural-looking, and will work for your lifestyle. Age, while a factor in healthcare, has less to do with your ideal tooth replacement solution than what your lifestyle is like. For example, you could be a senior and not want to wear dentures, even though they are common. Regardless of your age, if you lead an active lifestyle, dental implants could be the best solution simply because they are the sturdiest option and will allow you to maintain all of your activities. One thing to be aware of, and this does not have to be age-related, is that when you lose a tooth, the process of resorption starts. This is when the body starts to leach calcium from your jawbone and distribute it to the rest of the body. The longer you wait to visit our Agoura Hills dental office and have the tooth replaced, the less bone density you will have. When you then go to replace the tooth, your options could be more limited. This makes losing a tooth an urgent matter to attend to.<\/p>\n<p>We recommend that you call <a title=\"Click to call SoCal Dental of Agoura at 818-597-0100\" href=\"tel:+1-818-597-0100\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"CTC-Phone-Hyphens-0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">818-597-0100<\/a> and schedule an appointment with our dental office as soon as your tooth has either fallen or been knocked out.
