Dental Implants
Living with missing teeth can be painful, frustrating, and embarrassing. Daily activities that we take for granted, like eating, chewing, talking, and interacting with other people all become a challenge.
Oral Health Complications from Missing Teeth
Missing teeth also present a problem for your dental health because your jawbone begins to deteriorate without a root to support. Your healthy teeth will start to drift without a replacement tooth, which could result in bite misalignment.
Tooth Replacement Options
The good news is that there are a variety of options available to replace missing teeth. These will vary based on your individual needs and may involve:
- Tooth Implants: These are essentially like having a brand new tooth with a root that anchors into the bone
- Dental Bridges: Dental crowns are used to support one or more artificial teeth
- Removable Partial Dentures: This appliance gains support from the remaining healthy teeth and offer an option for replacing one or more teeth
