Missing Teeth

The effects of missing teeth and how to replace them.

Treatments for Missing Teeth

Missing teeth can impact more than just your appearance, they can interfere with your ability to chew, speak clearly, and maintain overall oral health. Whether tooth loss is caused by decay, gum disease, trauma, genetics, or medical conditions, the consequences can include shifting teeth, bone loss, bite misalignment, speech difficulties, and reduced confidence. Left untreated, missing teeth may lead to further complications, such as jawbone deterioration and TMJ issues.

Fortunately, Clark Family Dental offers effective solutions including dental implants (which replace both the tooth and root for lasting stability), dental bridges (ideal for filling gaps between teeth), removable full or partial dentures, and implant-supported dentures that combine security with affordability. Early intervention is key to preventing more complex problems, preserving facial structure, and maintaining a balanced bite.
