Single Missing Tooth



Dental implants: Dental implants are great for a missing tooth because they look so real. They don’t stand out or look any different from the other teeth in your mouth. And in terms of function, dental implants surpass the conventional dental bridge and dentures because they are surgically implanted into the jaw bone where they actually imitate human tooth roots. Dental implants are a permanent fix that will give your jaw bone the daily stimulation it needs to stay strong and healthy. Unlike dental bridges and dentures, dental implants also keep your facial muscles in good shape so you can eat and speak freely without any difficulty or embarrassing noise. And they last. Your dental implants will take you through many decades if you take care of them with regular flossing, brushing and checkups.

Removable partial dentures: These appliances are used to replace a missing tooth, but they can feel bulky and uncomfortable to some patients. The artificial teeth are fixed in a gum-colored base, which patients fasten to the gum line with little metal clips. Removable partial dentures have a 30 percent failure rate and must be replaced in five to seven years.

Fixed partial dentures: This appliance is also called a three unit bridge. Fixed partials are placed between two of your own teeth, which are called abutments. The abutments must be grinded down before the dental bridge is placed. This harms the natural teeth to some degree, leaving them open to damage and decay. This type of dental bridge also stresses the jaw bone. This tooth replacement also has a 30 percent failure rate and needs replacing often.

Cannot recommend Laurel Pines and Dr. Samad highly enough. I came in on a Sunday with a dental emergency (an implant I had gotten from another surgeon had been placed incorrectly, and was being rejected from my body thus causing an immense amount of pain) and I was seen immediately. Dr. Samad and his colleagues not only diagnosed the issue right away, but they also saw to it that I was seen for a corrective surgery within the same week.

First off, I never give anyone 5 stars, however, on a day like today I am. I was not paid to write this nor do I work for the company. I am usually the skeptic when it comes to those things so I want to make it known. I am a customer in need of some major help for my other half. This company is very professional, courteous, clean and respectful. I really appreciate Tammy and staff (forgot the young lady's name at the front desk along with Tammy).

Came in for an emergency root canal on a Saturday afternoon . Dr. Samad and all the staff were amazing. They were very supportive, willing to answer all questions and I could tell they genuinely wanted to help me get better. I highly recommend and they truly deserve 5 stars because 5 star service is what I received.

Dr. Samad is awesome! He is personable, attentive and honest. Excellent service from Tammy in the front office as well. I am excited to be a part of this office long term.

Dr. Samead and Tammy went above and beyond for me when I called with a dental emergency. They took their entire Saturday to help me and I'm in love with the results! Highly recommend !

Dr. Samad and his team we're absolutely amazing. I was nervous about my procedure and didn't know what to expect. They made me so comfortable while I was there. Today is my first day in a long time with no pain! I am very thankful and grateful for they work they've done.
