At North Down Implant and Orthodontic Clinic, we know how difficult living and smiling with missing teeth can be and always advocate for replacement.
Having a missing tooth or multiple missing teeth can result from a number of different causes, the most common of which is advanced gum disease. However, patients can also lose teeth due to accidents, injury, untreated tooth decay, or infections that lead to cracked roots that can no longer be repaired via a root canal treatment.
Missing teeth can harm patients’ day-to-day lives, lowering their self-esteem and smile confidence and making it harder for them to chew, eat, and even speak.
They can also lead to further oral health issues, including:
- Food and debris getting trapped in the spaces left by missing teeth.
- An increased risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
- A loss of bone density and health in the jaw.
- Movement of surrounding teeth.
- Change of shape to the facial structure.
At North Down Implant and Orthodontic Clinic, we pride ourselves on being able to replace patients’ missing teeth, thereby restoring their happy smiles and full health back to their mouths. As dental implant professionals, it should come as no surprise that we’re advocates for dental implants which are most closely able to mimic the function, look, and feel of a natural tooth. We consider them the gold-standard replacement option for patients and love that we can offer patients a better-than-ever smile with implants.
With a full suite of dental implant options available, our team can offer a replacement for a singular missing tooth all the way up to a full mouth rehabilitation. As professionals in our field, we often treat patients who have been referred to us from other practices, and we look forward to being able to help you on your way to a better, brighter smile and a new outlook on your dental health.
