Tooth Replacement in Cypress, TX

By Dr. Shannon Pham

Not many years ago, losing a tooth left you with few options for tooth replacement. While permanent teeth should provide a lifetime of function, it doesn't always end up that way. They may be lost from an accident, deep cavities, or gum disease. And since teeth start as a full set, even one missing tooth may disrupt the complex function of chewing, the first step in digestion. As teeth slowly lean and migrate into extra spaces, wear and cracking from excessive forces often create escalating problems. When it's time to replace missing teeth, whether it's one or a full set, several options might be available to you. Dental implants often give you the best opportunity to enjoy normal chewing and a full smile, although all therapeutic possibilities deserve consideration. We know it's not always easy for you to sort through the complicated possibilities. Dr. Pham's background in restorative dentistry allows them to develop solutions for every scenario.

Let's Explore The Cause And Effects

Inlays

When you have lost teeth it is a good idea to visit your dentist as quickly as you can. Teeth that aren't replaced can result in additional problems in your mouth. If you have teeth that are missing it will be harder to chew your food. Not only that, when you talk or smile it will take away from your appearance. Teeth that are near the open area can begin to shift and appear crooked eventually.

Depending on which teeth are missing, your bit can become a problem, and the two front teeth can begin to protrude forward. Sometimes it can cause pain or cavities where the food is hitting the other teeth next to the open spaces.

There are a few methods in the replacement of lost teeth. One is using an implanted tooth rod that acts as the root. This is mounted and secured into the jawbone and the crown is permanently glued to it. This process looks completely natural and has a nice appearance.

Another method is the use of a bridge. This is secured to a fixed tooth on the side of the space. It is permanent and you cannot remove it.

A common and oldest method is using dentures. A denture is also termed as false teeth that you can put in and out at your convenience. It is less expensive than implants and bridges. In some cases, these can slip slightly.

These options are very common in tooth replacement methods. They are all safe and will enhance your appearance and glowing smile.

Additional Dental Procedures

During the annual checkup, a dental patient may be advised of some additional procedures that should be completed. These processes are important to the integrity of your teeth, as they can prevent cavities and damage. Some of the processes that may be completed at your dentist office include tooth removal, the insertion of an implant that will hold a crown, whitening, dentures and more. There may also come a point where the practitioner you are working with will refer you to a specialist. This referral is important because your teeth may require additional procedures in order to maintain their health. Some of these procedures can include a root canal, the removal of molars, as well as orthodontia work to correct an over/under-bite that you are currently experiencing.

While dentures improve the form and function of a person’s smile, they feel and act differently than natural teeth.

According to the American Dental Association or the ADA, you can avoid most of the dental emergencies by visiting your dentists two times a year. In this way, the problem will get detected at an early stage and the treatment will also become quite easy. So, why wait?

Dr. Pham and her team is amazing. She is very patient and kind. Her staff provides great customer service and are very welcoming. She is thorough with the examinations and explains what the procedures entail very well. She is gentle and careful with all procedures. I had a deep clean and 2 wisdom teeth extracted. I highly recommend her if you need to go see a dentist but are fearful.

I've avoided going to the dentist for most of my life because of past traumatic experiences, but I had an emergency and found emmy dental. I immediately felt at ease in their office, all staff were welcoming and had a calming presence. Dr. Shannon Pham was so gentle and never made me feel insecure about the state of my teeth. She genuinely cares about her work and it's obvious. I've already recommended Emmy dental to a friend.

My sister comes to place for her check up every 6 months. The staff and the orthodontist have been really professional, very kind, and knowledgeable. They take her serious and they have empathy whenever she complains about something hurting in her mouth. I love this place, I highly recommend.

Dr. Pham is awesome. I get terrible anxiety after getting the numbing shots before getting a filling fixed or a new one. In past experiences with other dentists I’ve even nearly passed out, gotten super dizzy, thrown up, sweating, etc….

Dr Pham was the first dentist to offer me laughing gas, so I tried it, and it worked. I felt calm, I didn’t have a panic attack, my vitals all normalized.

I can’t believe none of the other dentists offered me this even after my complaints. I appreciate Dr. Pham considering my issues instead of just forcing me through a procedure.
