Missing Teeth

Physical trauma and severe, untreated decay are the leading causes of tooth loss.

Aside from the aesthetic implications, failing to replace a tooth can affect the functionality and health of your gums, jaw, and remaining teeth.

Can a gap in my smile impact the rest of my teeth?

The gap left behind by a missing tooth provides the opportunity for surrounding teeth to shift into the gap. This movement can have a knock-on effect, impacting the overall aesthetic look of your smile, your bite, and your ability to chew food.

An irregular bite not only affects the way you eat but can also cause headaches, jaw disorders, abnormal tooth wear, further tooth loss, and increased sensitivity.

What options do I have to replace a missing tooth?

There are several options for replacing missing teeth. These include dentures, bridges, and dental implants.

The most popular choice available today is dental implants. We can use implants to replace single or multiple missing teeth — and even entire arches of teeth in a single appointment with our All-on-Four® and All-on-Six® Same-Day Teeth procedures.
