At Family 1st Dental of Osmond, located at 408 North State Street, we recognize that missing teeth can significantly impact your oral health and overall well-being. The consequences of leaving gaps in your smile extend beyond aesthetics. When a tooth is lost, it creates challenges in chewing, speaking, and can lead to further dental issues. The importance of replacing missing teeth cannot be overstated, and our comprehensive restorative options are designed to address this concern effectively.

One of the primary consequences of not replacing missing teeth is the deterioration of jawbone health. After a tooth is lost, the underlying bone can begin to resorb due to lack of stimulation. This can alter facial structure, leading to a sunken appearance and additional tooth loss over time. Furthermore, adjacent teeth may shift into the empty space, which can cause misalignment and bite issues. At Family 1st Dental of Osmond, we emphasize the importance of addressing missing teeth for both functional and aesthetic reasons.

Fortunately, there are several restorative options available to replace missing teeth, and our team is here to guide you through them. Some of these options include:

  • Dental Implants: Considered the gold standard in tooth replacement, dental implants offer a permanent solution that integrates with the jawbone, restoring both function and appearance.
  • Bridges: A dental bridge can replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to neighboring teeth. This solution is effective for maintaining dental structures and restoring bite function.
  • Dentures: For patients with several missing teeth or complete tooth loss, dentures provide a removable option that can be customized for comfort and aesthetics.

By choosing Family 1st Dental of Osmond, you are selecting a dentist who prioritizes your oral health and comfort. Dr. Ben Aitken and the team are dedicated to providing individualized care tailored to your needs.
