If you have missing teeth, you know how embarrassing it can be. But did you know that more than your appearance is affected by tooth loss? Your health is too.

When a tooth, several teeth or even all teeth are lost – and not replaced – your jawbone begins to deteriorate. Your ability to eat nutritious foods is limited. If you are missing one or several teeth, the empty spaces in your mouth allow other teeth to shift position, causing a variety of problems, from uneven tooth wear to headaches.

The best approach for your health, confidence and comfort is to replace your missing teeth. If several teeth are missing, consider a bridge or a partial denture. If you are missing all your teeth, a full denture can restore your smile as well as support facial muscles, enhancing your overall appearance.
