Whether as the result of an accident or other trauma or the more common cause of gum disease, is it so terrible to lose a tooth? You can’t die from it, right? No, you can’t, but the loss of even one tooth can cause other teeth to shift around, which causes problems. This can impact chewing and the ability to absorb nutrients. Other bad things can happen with your appearance: your face changes shape, giving you a sunken look. This can lead to premature aging, so you might look much older than you actually are. The way you talk can be affected. Because it’s more difficult to chew with missing teeth, you may lean towards eating softer foods with more carbohydrates, which can cause weight gain. The most beneficial way to treat a missing tooth (or missing teeth) is with traditional dental implants. An implant can replace any number of lost teeth. They are constructed to look so natural that even dentists have to look hard to see any difference.
For some patients, traditional dentures are the best option. Whether you already have dentures and need an update, or are considering them, allow us to custom-design your dentures for maximum comfort and beauty in just 48 hours! We have an experienced Denture Laboratory Technician on site to give you a very quick turn-around. We also offer SAME-DAY denture repairs.
Do you have a sweet tooth, but cringe in pain every time you enjoy a sweet treat? If you have teeth sensitive to sugar, you may wonder if there’s any way to get relief. This likely means that the enamel of your teeth is damaged, and is making your teeth sensitive to sweets and other foods. Fortunately, for those whose teeth are sensitive to sugar, there are solutions to help you enjoy your favorite foods and avoid discomfort.
