DIRECTIONS
We’ve talked in the past about our abilities to do large amounts of dental work, especially under sedation. As you know, we design, 3D print, and finish bridges and dentures right here in the office. But what if you don’t need a fully new smile or a row of three or four teeth replaced? Many patients might be tempted to just ignore one missing tooth; after all, it’s just one tooth. If you don’t care about how it looks, why bother at all? Actually, there are a lot of good health reasons for fixing that gap. Our teeth are rooted in bone, and a missing tooth puts the bone at risk for damage, especially if it hasn’t been cleaned by a dentist yet! The deep hole at the site can also easily be infected, and all kinds of bad things can get inside there. For that matter, there may still be a piece of tooth in there, as well, which puts you at risk for more complications! Finally, people with a single missing tooth that goes untreated could be putting themselves at risk for TMJ disorder, and that’s a pretty serious deal. Fortunately, this issue is usually quick and easy to treat, especially if our Texas Sedation Dental team can get to the injury soon after it occurs. If you still have the tooth, please bring it in just in case and come visit us. We’ll examine and clean the site and either put in a new implant right then or schedule for one within a short period of time. Implants are the best solution here: They are less fuss than a bridge, and they look and function just like your regular teeth! From missing one tooth to missing them all, there isn’t much Texas Sedation Dental hasn’t seen and treated. If you’re ready to love your smile again, pick up the phone and give us a call at 903-251-2858. Single-Tooth Replacement Is Important
