What solutions are available for missing teeth?
If you are missing one or more teeth, you may be a candidate for crown and bridge treatment, partials, implants, or full dentures. It is important to seek treatment, because missing teeth can cause problems for your surrounding teeth, compromise your ability to chew, and detract from your appearance. Crown and bridge treatments can replace a missing tooth by attaching a new crown to the teeth adjacent to the hole. This is a good option for a single tooth that has been lost due to trauma. Full or partial dentures can fill in the gaps left by multiple missing teeth. Partials are used when you have some healthy teeth left to which dentures can be anchored.
