The Beautiful Smile You Deserve
Whether you’ve been without a full set of teeth for one week, one month, or an entire year, the effects of tooth loss can become increasingly harder over time.

At Salt Lake Smiles, we want to mitigate these issues by providing customized tooth replacement solutions, like dental bridges, dentures, and dental implants. Contact our office to schedule a consultation with Dr. Osterhoudt today to discuss which option for replacing missing teeth in West Jordan is right for you.

Dental Bridges
Large gaps can easily be filled with a conservative and reliable method of tooth replacement – a dental bridge. Combining two dental crowns with free-standing artificial teeth (pontics), Dr. Osterhoudt can alter healthy abutment teeth on either side of the gap so the restoration will remain affixed in place, creating a complete and functional smile that can last 10-15 years.
Dental Implants
Permanent tooth replacement was once only a dream, but it’s now possible with dental implants. Seated within the jawbone for maximum stability, these titanium posts act like natural tooth roots and can support a customized dental crown, bridge, or denture depending on how many teeth you are missing. Based on the complexity of your treatment, Dr. Osterhoudt will place them in-house or refer you to an oral surgeon who can address more extensive cases.

Dentures
An entire arch of missing teeth can be restored with the help of a full denture. Crafted from acrylic, gum-colored materials and artificial teeth, these prosthetics offer a way to eat, speak, and smile once again and only require natural suction and denture adhesive to remain in place. Multiple missing teeth can also be restored with a partial denture that is made much of the same way but with metal clasps to help hold it in place. Both methods of tooth replacement continue to be popular among patients and dentists because of their natural-looking appearance and affordability.
