Reasons to Replace a Missing Tooth

Losing a Tooth Alters More Than Your Smile

Whatever the reason for losing a tooth, missing just one tooth can have an effect on your facial appearance and speech as well as your ability to chew and absorb the most nutrients from your food. Chewing properly helps in the digestive process, and having missing teeth does not allow you to chew your food as you should. Multiple missing teeth may cause you to choose softer, possibly less nutritious foods, which can result in unwanted weight gain.

Your face may take on a sunken look, both due to the spaces and the bone loss that begins as soon as teeth are lost. This may age your appearance. Spaces can also affect the way you talk, which can be an embarrassment.

We advise dental implants for missing teeth, whether they are in the front or back. They look natural and function perfectly. No one can tell they are not your natural teeth, and they will recapture a beautiful smile.

Dental Implants

A Full Smile with Dental Implants

We highly recommend recapturing a complete smile with placement of dental implants. No matter where the gaps are located or how many teeth you have missing, these implants will provide full chewing capabilities and look just like real teeth. They come up through the gums, instead of sitting on top of them, which give them a very realistic appearance. It is as if you grew new teeth!

Those without any teeth can benefit, as they will be permanent. No longer will denture wearers have to deal with the problems of loose and slipping dentures that make for difficult chewing and embarrassing moments when speaking.

We conveniently handle the entire process for you, from post implant to crown fabrication and bonding the teeth in place. So there is no need for referral to another office.
