Replacing missing teeth is crucial, and we are pleased to offer several options at Derhake Dental. Everyone is unique, so it's best to start by scheduling an appointment at our Florissant, MO, dental office.

Dental Implants

A dental implant is a tiny titanium screw placed surgically into the jawbone to replace the missing tooth root. After the implant heals, Dr. Spring places a dental crown on top of it. Dental implants are considered the best tooth replacement because they look and feel natural and help maintain a healthy jawbone.

Dental Bridges

A bridge is a fixed tooth replacement anchored to surrounding teeth (abutment teeth) with dental crowns. A dental bridge can replace 1–3 consecutive missing teeth and is a good option if adjacent teeth are healthy or if you don't want to undergo implant surgery.

Full and Partial Dentures

A full denture replaces all missing teeth in your upper arch, lower arch, or both. We design custom dentures to complement your smile so they look natural and beautiful. Dentures are typically made of a combination of acrylic and metal and secured by suction or dental adhesives.

We would recommend a partial denture if you have some remaining teeth. Partials are made of acrylic and metal and secured to adjacent teeth by metal clasps or precision attachments.
