Losing a tooth impacts more than appearance. It can affect chewing, speech, and even the health of your jawbone over time, since teeth stimulate the bone that supports them. Left unaddressed, missing teeth can also cause neighboring teeth to shift out of position.

Why Replacing Missing Teeth Matters

  • Prevents shifting of surrounding teeth
  • Preserves jawbone density and facial structure
  • Restores normal chewing and speech
  • Improves confidence in your smile

Our Tooth Replacement Options

We offer several solutions depending on how many teeth are missing and your oral health, including dental implants, porcelain bridges, and full or partial dentures. If bone loss has occurred, bone grafting may be recommended before implant placement.

Finding the Right Solution for You

Our team will walk you through the pros and cons of each option, taking into account your budget, timeline, and long-term goals, to help you choose the replacement solution that fits your life best.

If you’re missing one or more teeth, call (860) 635-3993 to schedule a consultation and explore your options.

What happens if I don’t replace a missing tooth?

Neighboring teeth can shift out of position, and the jawbone in that area can begin to deteriorate over time.

What are my options for replacing missing teeth?

Options include dental implants, porcelain bridges, and full or partial dentures, depending on your needs.

Can missing teeth affect my jawbone?

Yes, teeth stimulate the jawbone, so missing teeth can lead to bone loss in that area over time.

Is bone grafting always necessary before an implant?

Not always. Bone grafting is only recommended when there isn’t enough bone to support an implant securely.

How do I choose the right tooth replacement option?

A consultation with our team allows us to evaluate your oral health and recommend the option that best fits your needs and goals.
