Missing teeth can be embarrassing, causing you to hide your otherwise beautiful smile, or they can be a hidden danger to your teeth and gums. Replacing missing teeth will not only restore your natural beauty, but it can protect you from further tooth loss and gum disease. Whether you have been missing a tooth for many years, Dr. Walsh-Cole can create a beautiful, natural-looking replacement.
Why you must replace a missing tooth
If you are missing a front tooth, you are probably very eager to replace it and restore the beauty of your smile. Although you may not realize it, it is also important to replace missing teeth that are not immediately visible. A missing tooth can lead to:
- Shifting teeth
- Food trapped between your teeth
- Tooth decay
- Painful chewing
- Malnutrition
- Tooth loss
- Gum disease
- Bone loss
Replacing missing teeth
The best option for replacing a missing tooth is a dental implant. Dental implants look, feel, and act just like your natural teeth, they require no special care, and they prevent the bone loss and gum shrinkage that cause premature aging.
If dental implants are not an option, Dr. Walsh-Cole can provide a bridge, partial or dentures.
With so many options available, you do not have to live with missing teeth.
