An important step in maintaining a healthy smile is to replace missing teeth.
When teeth are missing, the remaining ones can change position, drifting into the surrounding space. Teeth that are out of position can damage tissues in the mouth. In addition, it may be difficult to clean thoroughly between crooked teeth.
As a result, you run the risk of tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease, which can lead to the loss of additional teeth.
Modern dental advances provide a host of options for replacing missing tooth-from traditional dentures to crowns & bridges (metal, ceramic and metal free ceramics) to the latest dental implants.
An Implant or a fixed bridge or removable partial denture fills in the space created by missing teeth. This helps you to chew food properly, a difficult task when you have missing teeth.
In addition, it improves speech and prevents a sagging face by providing support for lips and cheeks.
