3 Treatment Options for Missing Teeth

Missing teeth don’t just affect your smile cosmetically, but can also have serious impacts on your oral health such as bite alteration, shifting teeth and weakening of your jawbone.

Although the ideal scenario is that you regularly visit the dentist and make it through as much of your life without losing any teeth, this isn’t always possible. Teeth can go missing for various reasons other than poor oral health, such as an injury, a genetic condition or gum disease due to other medical conditions.
