Your missing teeth might have other effects besides an unattractive smile. Without replacement teeth, eating will eventually become harder, your speech may be hindered and other teeth could eventually start to drift to fill in space over time. A trip to a Avalon Park dentist can help turn the tide by helping to repair your smile with a variety of restorative treatments that can provide functional as well as aesthetic improvements. 

When you come into a dentist in Avalon Park to address missing teeth, you will be assessed on various levels to find out which missing teeth solution is the best fit for you and your mouth. 

A consultation includes an evaluation of your gum health, jawbone, number of missing teeth and much more. Treatment may come in the form of dental implants, bridges or dentures, depending on individual circumstances. Dental implants, in particular, replace both the crown and roots of your natural tooth and represent the most lasting and natural-looking solution. Alternatively,bridges and dentures are reliable choices to bring function and appearance back into your bite.

Apart from filling space in the jawbone and closing bite openings, teeth replacements prevent shifting teeth, and helps to maintain bite alignment. Consistent dental follow up treatment ensures the longevity of dental implants, bridges or dentures and provides excellent long-term oral health care. Home care and a diligent dental hygiene routine help ensure that replacement teeth last even longer.
