Loss of teeth can have a significant impact on your health and quality of life. This deficit is expressed functionally, esthetically, and socially. Struggling to chew your favorite foods and adjusting your smile to hide that deficit can diminish your sense of confidence. Social events with your family and friends can trigger uncomfortable feelings associated with tooth loss. Restoring your smile to health can also restore your confidence and overall well-being. Making a decision to replace what you have lost becomes about increasing the quality of your everyday life.
We need our teeth to eat properly, so when one is damaged it can take a toll on your day-to-day life. In order to continue to protect your teeth and overall well-being, it is important to repair damaged teeth. At our office, dental crowns are utilized to cover dental implants, preventing a cracked tooth from becoming worse, and to restore an existing filling in jeopardy of becoming loose or dislocated.
Dental Bridges are natural-looking appliances that can fill in the gap caused by missing teeth. Simply put, bridges are natural-looking, custom-made, and barely noticeable teeth replacements.
