What Happens If I Do Nothing?
While a single missing tooth might seem easy to ignore, over time, even minor tooth loss can cause havoc for someone’s oral health. Because the jawbone in the area near the missing tooth will naturally atrophy, this can cause the surrounding teeth to actually shift into the space and misalign, leading to a crooked bite. The exposed gum tissue is also more likely to develop an infection, which can easily lead to even more tooth loss. Replacing your teeth in a timely manner is the absolute best way of preventing all these issues!
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges do exactly what their name implies and “bridge” the gap left by several missing teeth in a row. Dental crowns are placed over the teeth on either side of the space, and these are used to support one to three prosthetic teeth, depending on a patient’s needs. Better yet, bridges are designed not only to look completely natural, but also to restore regular chewing function as well. They can also prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of place, further protecting your future oral health.
Dentures & Partial Dentures
For those missing multiple teeth or even all of them, custom-made dentures are a reliable, time-tested solution. Coming in both partial and full varieties, our dentures are specifically designed to fit every patient’s unique smile comfortably and function optimally while also looking totally natural. Partial dentures are perfect for patients with remaining healthy teeth, while a full denture can sit on the gums and bring back an entire row with just one device.
Dental Implants
Each of your teeth actually has two specific parts: the root and the crown. The crown is the portion that shows above the gum line, and this is what traditional dental restorations replace. However, since the root is absent, these prosthetics are typically much less stable than real teeth and usually need to be completely replaced more often.
With a dental implant, however, the entire tooth’s structure, including the root, is restored, meaning that the result looks, feels, and functions just like your original tooth. Plus, this comprehensive approach leads to results that can last for decades or even a lifetime without replacements.
