Check Out These Results!
Experiencing tooth loss can come with a variety of emotions. Some patients are eager to replace their missing teeth as soon as possible, while others wait to replace them. Unfortunately, the longer a patient waits to replace their teeth, the more complications they will experience with their oral health. We help patients every day who are in need of a tooth replacement. In fact, we help many patients who have been missing teeth for years and need not only to replace one tooth but a full mouth restoration. We would love to share the results of a patient who recently replaced her missing teeth with our help. Read on to see the results and learn more about the importance of replacing missing teeth.
Why Replace Missing Teeth?
There are a number of reasons why a patient might be missing a tooth or need to have a tooth extracted. No matter the reason, we know that it can leave patients feeling overwhelmed and self-conscious, especially if they are missing multiple teeth. Although each tooth is an individual component, all of the teeth work together as one unit. When one tooth is missing, it can change the effectiveness of the remaining teeth. Depending on the needs of our patients, we can replace one missing tooth or multiple missing teeth. We recently had the opportunity to change the smile and life of one of our patients. As you can see from the before and after photos, this patient was missing multiple teeth and received a full mouth restoration. With the use of dental implants, we were able to restore her smile. She now has a beautiful smile and the function of the teeth has been restored, improving chewing strength.
Reasons to Replace Missing Teeth
There are many reasons to replace missing teeth, but the most important are:
- To prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of place
- To eliminate the possibility of the jawbone deteriorating
- To ensure that you are properly chewing your food
- To eliminate the possibility of developing a lisp or speech impediment
