RESTORE YOUR SMILE AND YOUR CONFIDENCE
Stop Living With Missing or Damaged Teeth
After losing a tooth, or when you have a tooth that has become damaged by injury or decay and needs to be removed, you may wonder what happens next. What are your options? And what does it mean to live with a missing tooth? First and foremost, consider tooth replacement. Living with a missing or damaged tooth can lead to serious health issues. It can be painful, lead to further infection, and, over time, may alter your bite and damage your jaw. On top of that, a missing tooth can affect your self-confidence. All too often, people with a missing or damaged tooth are reluctant to smile or speak naturally. They hesitate to let their true self shine through.
Certain replacement options, including bridges and dentures, can fill in the gap left by a missing or removed tooth, but they fall short for many people. They often don’t look or feel the same as your healthy, natural teeth. These options can lead to other issues, such as damage to your existing healthy teeth, which may be used to support the bridge or dentures. Over time, these devices can cause bone loss and deterioration of the bone structure in your face. With dental implants, your dentist can replace one or more of your teeth in a durable, beautiful manner that mimics your natural tooth structure. Because dental implants replace individual teeth, you don’t need to worry about many of the issues associated with bridges and
dentures. Plus, each implant is custom made to exacting specifications. Once in place, no one but you will know it’s an implant! If you are considering your options for a missing or damaged tooth, be sure to ask about your options. We can help you put aside the worry so you can smile with utmost confidence, knowing your smile is complete. If you do have a missing tooth and questions, you can schedule a free consultation, which includes a free CT scan (valued at $350), and we can help you determine you best next step!
