Missing teeth can ruin you smile, and make eating a chore as well. Here is what we can do to handle it:
A Permanent Bridge
The loss of a single tooth can have a major impact on your dental health and personal appearance. First there is that unsightly gap in your smile. But then you also have to realize that the remaining teeth can start to move out of their natural position, which will affect your bite. These shifted teeth are more susceptible to decay or gum disease, because they are more difficult to clean around. A permanent bridge between the two healthy teeth on either side of the gap can restore you teeth to normal function. It will improve the entire health of your mouth by keeping the surrounding teeth in position and can also help maintain the structure or your face and jaw.
Removable Dentures
A denture is a tooth replacement option which can be used for a single tooth, multiple teeth or even a full arch. Dentures are removable. They can be crafted to provide the characteristics (tooth shape and color) that match the existing teeth. Over the years since dentures were first used, there have been advances in the materials used for dentures and in the way they are designed. If you already have dentures (partial or full arch) you may be experiencing a loose fit or denture slipping. This can lead to gum sores that can affect your chewing and your speech and decrease your confidence when speaking or laughing with others. The solution is to come to us and get your denture re-lined.
