Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it important to replace missing teeth?

Missing teeth can have a significant influence on your lifestyle and appearance. For instance, missing teeth pose difficulty when eating and place additional stress on the remaining teeth.

When a tooth is missing, a space is created. Over time, the remaining natural teeth will shift and cause otherwise healthy teeth to misalign and tilt. Furthermore, tilted teeth are more likely to become unstable, resulting in future tooth loss. Thus, perpetuating this problem.

Furthermore, healthy, intact teeth help support the lips, cheeks, and other facial tissues. When missing teeth are not restored, gaps are left open. Consequently, the soft tissue can “cave in,” and add years to an individual’s looks.

What materials are used in dental prosthetics?

First and foremost, San Antonio Smile Pros uses ADA-approved materials to fabricate strong, stunning dental prosthetics. For example, we can supply durable, enamel-like zirconium and biocompatible metals to create the best dental prosthetics possible.
