Missing Tooth

Home / Problems We Treat / Missing Tooth

Restore the health and appearance of your smile!

If you have missing teeth, you’re not alone. Most people will lose at least one permanent tooth in their lifetime, and about 20 percent of us are even born with one or more permanent teeth missing. At The Tooth Experience, our tooth replacement dentists provide high-quality, comfortable solutions for patients of all ages.

The most common causes of missing teeth include tooth decay, gum disease, injury, and genetic factors. If left untreated, missing teeth can impact how you chew and speak, lead to bone loss and other health conditions, and impact your overall self-esteem. Fortunately, we have effective treatments like dental implants, dentures, and bridges that can restore your smile as well as your dental health and confidence!

Why you should consider a tooth replacement

If you’re missing a tooth or multiple teeth, opting for a professional replacement can offer life-changing results. Missing teeth not only impact your confidence but can also lead to a number of potential health problems down the line, including:

  • Bone loss – Missing teeth can cause the surrounding jaw bone to deteriorate, leading to changes in facial structure and jaw pain.
  • Crooked teeth – When you lose a tooth, the surrounding teeth may try to shift to accommodate the open space; this can lead to misaligned teeth that are harder to clean.
  • Gum disease – Missing teeth leave the underlying gum exposed; this makes it easier for harmful bacteria to inflame the gumline.
  • Affected speech – It’s not uncommon for missing teeth to impact the way you pronounce words over time.

We’ll work with you to understand your needs and concerns and help you find the right tooth replacement treatment for you. We want to help you build your self-esteem and protect your dental health for years to come.

 

Treatments for missing teeth

At The Tooth Experience, we’re dedicated to providing quality care for all patients. If you’re missing a tooth or multiple teeth, we can provide you with long-lasting, high-quality restorations to improve your smile and your confidence.
 

What can I do to prevent losing teeth in the future?

While missing teeth can be caused by genetic factors and other things outside of your control, there are some behavioral and lifestyle changes you can make to limit the risk of losing a tooth:

 

  • Eat a healthy, unprocessed diet and avoid overly acidic or difficult-to-eat foods
  • Practice consistent daily dental hygiene by brushing and flossing daily
  • Visit us for regular cleanings and exams
  • Avoid smoking
  • Take care of your overall health and well-being, especially if you suffer from diabetes or other chronic health conditions
