Overcome the Challenges of Missing Teeth with Advanced Solutions
Missing teeth can significantly impact your daily life and overall well-being. Adhering to a soft food diet becomes necessary as chewing tougher foods causes discomfort, limiting your nutritional choices and enjoyment of meals. Speaking clearly and confidently can also become a struggle, making social interactions hard. Smiling, once a natural expression of joy, may cause self-consciousness and embarrassment, especially if the gaps are visible. Tooth loss can even lead to bone recession, resulting in a sunken, aged appearance that can diminish your self-esteem.
Fortunately, effective solutions like dental implants can restore the functionality and aesthetics of natural teeth, protect your jaw, and offer unmatched longevity.

Safeguard Your Oral Health with Timely Tooth Extraction
When treatments like root canals, gum disease therapy, and restorative dentistry are ineffective, removing damaged, infected, or failing teeth becomes essential to protect your dental and overall health. Except for wisdom teeth or extra teeth causing overcrowding, most teeth should be replaced after removal. Tooth loss can significantly decrease your quality of life and trigger a “domino effect” on your health.
Without natural tooth roots stimulating healthy bone growth, bone deterioration can occur beneath the empty tooth socket, potentially leading to further tooth loss in adjacent teeth. Replacing your tooth promptly can prevent extensive bone loss and eliminate the need for bone grafting procedures. If your bone is stable or has been reconstructed, you can choose between dental bridges, dentures, and dental implants to achieve a new, complete smile.
Treatment Options for Missing Teeth
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are frequently the first solution many patients think of for one missing tooth or a series of missing teeth. Dental bridges are made of crowns that span the gap left behind by tooth loss. When placing your dental bridge in Smithfield, NC, the enamel of one or more adjacent teeth (abutment teeth) at the bridge's foundation must be removed. Once placed, this solution is esthetic and prevents adjacent teeth from shifting.
Partials and Dentures
Dentures are a time-tested, economical solution to tooth loss. They fit over your gums and stay in place through suction or adhesive creams but can also be removed. You can have full or partial dentures; complete dentures cover entire arches of teeth, essentially replacing all your teeth, while partial dentures take the place of a few missing teeth in a row or throughout an arch.
Implant Support Dentures
For additional stability, dental implants can anchor dentures in your jawbone. Implant-supported dentures won’t slip out of place or irritate your gums and offer healthy bone stimulation. They also enable you to eat more foods than standard dentures.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the best overall tooth replacement option available today. They are the most natural-looking solution and can last decades with proper care. Dental implants can replace one tooth, multiple teeth, or an entire arch of teeth. Comprised partly of artificial tooth roots, they protect your jawbone from deterioration and thus your facial shape from changing. They allow you to eat anything you want—hard foods, sticky foods, chewy foods, and whatever your favorites might be.
