Your Options for Replacing Missing Teeth
There are four proven ways to replace a missing tooth, and the right one depends on how many teeth are gone, the condition of the bone, and your budget. Dr. Taylor Field restores all four at our Phoenix office and shows you on your own X-ray which ones your mouth supports before you choose.
- Single tooth implant: a titanium post and crown that replaces one tooth without touching its neighbors
- Implant-supported bridge: two implants carrying several replacement teeth
- Traditional dental bridge: replacement teeth anchored to crowned neighboring teeth, no surgery
- Implant-retained dentures: a full arch that snaps onto implants and stops slipping
Why Replace a Missing Tooth at All
The jawbone under a lost tooth shrinks when nothing loads it, neighboring teeth drift into the gap, and the tooth above or below it over-erupts. Each of these makes the eventual repair bigger. Replacing the tooth within the first year keeps the bone and keeps the neighbors where they belong; an implant is the only option that loads the bone the way a root did.
How the Options Compare
An implant lasts decades, needs no help from neighboring teeth, and is cleaned like a natural tooth, at the highest upfront price of the four. A traditional bridge is faster and avoids surgery, at the cost of crowning two healthy neighbors and a typical 10 to 15 year service life. Implant-retained dentures replace a full arch for far less than an implant per tooth. Written prices for each are published on our fees pages, and Dr. Field confirms your exact price after an exam.
What Happens at the Consultation
An exam and a 3D image of the bone, then an honest conversation. Some patients hear that a bridge serves them better than an implant; some hear the opposite. You leave with the options your mouth actually supports, each with its price in writing.

Common questions
What is the best way to replace a missing tooth?
For a single missing tooth with healthy bone, an implant: it lasts decades, protects the jawbone, and leaves neighboring teeth untouched. When surgery is not an option, a traditional bridge is the proven alternative. The exam determines which your mouth supports.
What happens if I leave a missing tooth alone?
The bone under the gap shrinks, neighboring teeth tilt into the space, and the opposing tooth over-erupts. The repair gets bigger and costlier the longer the gap stands.
How much does tooth replacement cost in Phoenix?
Sonoran Dental Arts publishes its fees. See the implant, bridge, and denture cost pages for starting prices; Dr. Field confirms your exact price in writing after an exam.
Can several missing teeth be replaced at once?
Yes. An implant-supported bridge replaces several neighboring teeth on two implants, and implant-retained dentures replace a full arch.
Does replacing a tooth hurt?
Implant placement is done under local anesthetic and most patients manage the following days with over-the-counter pain relievers. A traditional bridge involves no surgery at all.
