Missing teeth change more than your smile

A missing tooth doesn’t just affect how you look. It changes how you chew, how you speak, and how the rest of your teeth sit over time. When a tooth is lost, the jawbone beneath it begins to shrink, and neighboring teeth shift toward the gap. What starts as one missing tooth can become a cascading problem.
At Legacy Smiles of Southern Arizona, Dr. Torres, your teeth replacement dentist, helps patients in Green Valley and the surrounding Southern Arizona community find the right solution, chosen around your health, your goals, and your budget. You’ll always get honest guidance, clear explanations, and care that feels personal.

Your tooth replacement options

Dental Implants

The most permanent solution for a missing tooth. A titanium post replaces the root, and a custom crown replaces the visible tooth. Implants preserve the jawbone, support neighboring teeth, and function like a natural tooth. Dr. Torres has placed and restored dental implants for many Green Valley patients and will evaluate whether you’re a good candidate.

All-On-X (Full Arch Implants)

For patients missing most or all teeth in an arch, All-On-4 or All-On-6 implant-supported restorations provide a fixed, permanent smile with just four to six implants. A more stable, functional alternative to conventional dentures.

Dental Bridges

A fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to healthy neighboring teeth. No surgery required, completed in two appointments, and a long-lasting solution when implants aren’t the right fit.

Dentures and Partial Dentures

Full or partial dentures restore multiple missing teeth, improve chewing function, and support your facial structure. Modern dentures fit better and look more natural than they did a generation ago.

What it’s like getting tooth replacement care

  1. Evaluation. Dr. Torres examines your teeth, bone structure, and overall oral health, including digital imaging to assess bone volume and map the best path forward.
  2. Your options. We walk you through the solutions that fit your situation — clearly, without jargon or pressure toward the most expensive option.
  3. Your plan. We build a treatment timeline around your goals, availability, and budget. We also offer financing options to make treatment accessible.
  4. Treatment. Whether you’re getting an implant, a bridge, or a denture, every step is explained before it happens and managed at our Green Valley office.

Frequently asked questions about Tooth Replacement

How long does it take to replace a missing tooth?

K
L

It depends on the option. A bridge can be completed in two to three appointments over a few weeks. An implant involves a healing period of several months between placement and the final crown. Dentures can often be completed more quickly. Dr. Torres will give you a realistic timeline at your consultation.

Will my insurance cover tooth replacement?

K
L

Many dental insurance plans cover bridges and dentures; implant coverage varies widely. Our team will verify your specific benefits and walk you through out-of-pocket costs before treatment begins. We also offer financing options.

Is it really necessary to replace a missing tooth?

K
L

Yes, for most patients. Without a root to stimulate the jawbone, bone resorption begins within months. Teeth shift into the gap. The longer a missing tooth goes unreplaced, the more complex future treatment becomes. Acting sooner preserves your options.

Do you offer bilingual care?

K
L
Yes. Our team speaks English and Spanish, and we're proud to serve Green Valley's diverse community with care that feels comfortable and clear in your language.
