What Happens If I Do Nothing?
Unlike other parts of your body, your teeth actually can’t heal themselves once they’ve sustained damage. That means that cavities and chips/cracks only tend to get worse as time goes on, leading to even more pain and dysfunction until the tooth finally falls out or has to be removed. Fortunately, pretty much any dental issue can be completely fixed using customized dentistry services, making a problem seem like it never existed in the first place.
Dental Crowns
Do you currently have teeth that are hurt, broken, or even missing altogether? In these cases and many more, a custom-made restoration like a crown or a bridge can work wonders. For instance, a dental crown is designed to cover a singular tooth, both rebuilding its natural structure and protecting what remains of the natural tooth underneath. They’re strong, comfortable, and built to last for several years so that patients can feel confident about their full smiles again.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Did you know that nearly 92% of the American population will experience one or more cavities over the course of their lives? This dental problem is a common one, which is why the Jacksonville Complete Dentistry team has modernized their approach for treating them. Instead of traditional amalgam (silver fillings), we use tooth-colored composite resin for a more attractive and more conservative solution that blends right with your enamel. Better yet, its metal-free structure isn’t overly sensitive to changes in temperature!
For patients with missing teeth, simple things like eating, speaking, and even smiling can start to feel uncomfortable and even painful. Filling in any gaps in your smile is not only important for your oral health and appearance, but your overall well being, too, as missing teeth can lead to a limited diet and nutritional deficiencies. At Jacksonville Complete Dentistry, we have a variety of dentistry solutions that can help patients get their bite and confidence back at the same time using strong and natural-looking restorations.

Untreated Tooth Loss
For most patients, untreated tooth loss only tends to lead to more problems and even additional tooth loss. The remaining teeth will likely start to shift into the open gaps, causing the bite to misalign, which can lead to pain in the jaw and facial muscles. Patients with missing teeth are also much more susceptible to developing gum disease, which itself is the number one cause of adult tooth loss in the US. Fortunately, this chain reaction can easily be stopped simply by restoring your teeth with the help of our two highly skilled dentists here at Jacksonville Complete Dentistry.
Dental Bridges
But what if you have true gaps in your smile? A high-quality bridge may be capable of filling them in. Bridges work best when they replace teeth that appear next to one another; dental crowns are fitted over healthy teeth on either side of the gap, and the restoration literally “bridges” the gap between them for a fixed and sturdy result. A bridge will keep your remaining teeth from shifting out of place, and it will restore plenty of power to your bite as well.
Complete & Partial Dentures
When you’ve lost several teeth or even an entire row, your life can be dramatically affected. Suddenly, you’re no longer able to enjoy favorite foods that require too much chewing, and you can’t smile and laugh with friends because of the embarrassment. Thankfully, our doctors believe that it’s never too late to regain a full and functional smile you can rely on. We offer several denture options, including traditional prosthetics that are fully removable for ease of use and more permanent implant-retained models.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the most complete tooth replacement solution available today, as they are the only treatment that brings back both the root and crown of a tooth. The end result is the next best thing to a real tooth, and they can be trusted to last for about 30 years or more. And, thanks to our team’s advanced training, we’re one of the few dental offices that can complete the entire implant procedure in-house, helping patients reclaim their smiles as quickly and efficiently as possible.
