Our experienced dentists will discuss the treatment options for your missing teeth with your needs and preferences in mind.
What Causes Teeth to Fall Out?
Missing teeth can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- poor oral hygiene
- trauma to the mouth
- gum disease
- tooth decay
- genetic conditions
- age-related wear and tear.
Your Treatment Options for Missing Teeth
Missing teeth can cause a variety of dental issues, including difficulty chewing and speaking. It can also affect the appearance of your smile. Fortunately, there are several treatment options available to replace missing teeth:
Dental Implants
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots placed surgically in the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge. With good care many implants last a long time, though implants can fail and longevity varies with bone quality, oral hygiene and general health.
Bridges
A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration that is used to replace 1 or more missing teeth. It consists of 2 or more crowns that are placed on either side of the gap and a false tooth that fills the space in between.
