The Impact of Missing Teeth
Missing teeth can lead to various challenges and complications:
- Difficulty Chewing: Eating certain foods may become difficult, impacting nutrition and overall health.
- Speech Issues: Missing teeth can make it harder to speak clearly.
- Self-Confidence: Gaps in your smile may lead to self-consciousness or social withdrawal.
- Bone Loss: Teeth play a crucial role in maintaining jawbone density. When teeth are lost, the jawbone can start to deteriorate over time.
Tooth Replacement Options
At Russo Family Dentistry & Aesthetics, we offer several tooth replacement solutions to help you regain function and aesthetics:
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a popular, long-lasting option for replacing missing teeth. These titanium posts are surgically placed into the jawbone, where they fuse with the bone to create a stable foundation for a custom-made crown. Implants look and function like natural teeth and help preserve jawbone health.
Dentures & Partials
Dentures are custom-made, removable appliances that replace multiple missing teeth. They are designed to fit comfortably and restore both function and appearance. Whether you need full or partial dentures, this option can be tailored to meet your needs.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are fixed appliances that replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the adjacent natural teeth or implants. Bridges can enhance your ability to eat and speak while seamlessly blending with your natural teeth.
Consequences of Untreated Missing Teeth
Choosing not to replace missing teeth can lead to:
- Bone Loss in the Jaw: Missing teeth can result in jawbone deterioration, which may change your facial structure.
- Shifting Teeth: Gaps left by missing teeth can cause surrounding teeth to shift out of alignment.
- Reduced Oral Function: Difficulty chewing and speaking can lower your overall quality of life.
- Self-Esteem Issues: Missing teeth may impact how you feel about your appearance and your willingness to smile.
