Teeth Replacement Solutions from Dr. Levine



If you’re missing teeth, there’s no need to despair. At Dr. Susan Levine’s office we have several teeth replacement options available to give you a healthy, beautiful smile once again. It is important to replace missing teeth as soon as possible so that the rest of your smile remains healthy. Once you’re missing a tooth, it increases your chances that more will fall out. Also, the rest of your teeth will shift to try and fill in the space, and could result in misaligned teeth and negatively impact your bite.

If you’re missing one tooth, we can use dental implants to replace it. A biocompatible post will be inserted in your jaw bone and allowed to heal. Then, a porcelain crown will be placed on top to take the place of the missing tooth. If you’re missing one, two or three teeth in a row then a crown and bridge is a good solution. It is a row of crowns that will be attached to your teeth. In the middle will be crowns to replace the missing teeth, ending with a crown that will be attached to a healthy tooth either side of the affected area, to help and bridge the gap. 

If you’re missing a substantial amount of teeth, we have dentures and partials. Partial dentures can be attached with implants or metal clasps and are removable. Full dentures are used to replace a full set of teeth and restore function to your smile. They can also be attached by dental implants

No matter what your smile needs, we have teeth replacement solutions to help repair and restore your smile. If you’re missing teeth, call us today to schedule a consultation and take the first step towards restoring your smile’s function and appearance.

Dr. Susan Levine provides quality cosmetic, implant and general dentistry to patients in the Fairfield, CT area. We want you to smile proudly once again. Call us to schedule your appointment today.

Cosmetic Dentistry for a Beautiful Smile



Your smile should be something that you take pride in and want to show off. Cosmetic dentistry is a great way to improve the appearance of your teeth and give you a beautiful smile.

At Dr. Susan Levine’s Fairfield dental office, we have numerous cosmetic dentistry options available for all your smile needs. No matter if your teeth are chipped, cracked, damaged, yellowed, stained or crooked, we can help correct all these issues.

Teeth whitening is a popular option and is great if your teeth are stained or yellowed. We can brighten your smile up to 10 or 12 shades, leaving you with the dazzling smile you’ve always wanted. The procedure usually takes about an hour, and you’ll leave our office with brighter teeth, instantly.

Cosmetic bonding is a great option to help correct small imperfections in your teeth. We can apply bonding material to your teeth to cover over cracks, chips, gaps, and discolored spots. Bonding is made from composite resins that we will carefully color to match your teeth. It will be hardened with a special light, leaving you with beautiful teeth.

Crowns and fillings are great ways to repair damage and restore your teeth. We use tooth colored materials for these procedures so they’ll look natural and blend in with the rest of your teeth. A filling is used to repair teeth with a small area of decay or damage, while a crown is used for teeth with a more substantial amount of damage. It is important to repair damaged and decayed teeth so that they are strong and functional once again.

Cosmetic dentistry is a great way to improve your smile. With so many choices available for your smile, we’d love to help come up with a plan that’s just right for you. Call Dr. Susan Levine’s Fairfield, CT dental office today to schedule your appointment. We want you to smile proudly once again.
