Understanding Missing Teeth

Teeth can be missing due to various reasons:

Tooth Decay: Untreated cavities can lead to severe tooth damage and eventual extraction.
Gum Disease: Advanced gum disease can weaken the jawbone and cause tooth loss.
Injury: Accidents or trauma can damage teeth beyond repair, necessitating extraction.
Congenital Defects: Some individuals are born with missing teeth due to developmental issues.

Consequences of Misshapen Teeth

Missing teeth go beyond aesthetics. They can lead to several problems:

Chewing Difficulties

Missing teeth can make chewing difficult, affecting digestion.

Speech Impediments

Missing teeth can alter speech patterns and clarity.

Shifting Teeth

Teeth shift to fill the gap, causing misalignment and bite problems.

Bone Loss

Missing teeth leads to jawbone deterioration, affecting facial structure.

Reduced Confidence

Missing teeth can negatively impact self-esteem and confidence.

Replacement Options for Missing Teeth

At Independence Dental, we offer a variety of advanced solutions to replace missing teeth and restore your smile’s function and beauty:

Dental Implants: These are tiny titanium posts surgically inserted into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Implants support various restorations like crowns, bridges, or dentures, offering the most natural-looking and long-lasting solution.
Dental Bridges: These bridge the gap between missing teeth with crowns placed on surrounding healthy teeth. Bridges can be a good option for replacing several missing teeth in a row.
Dentures: Traditional full or partial dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth. While affordable, they may not offer the same level of comfort and stability as implants or bridges.

I was on the hunt for a new dentist and I have to say Dr. Bhalla was fantastic. Her exam was very thorough and I felt like she listened to me, something the previous dental practice I went to didn’t do. I highly recommend her.

Ever walked out of a dentist’s office smiling? That too after a tooth extraction? I have and it’s all thanks to Dr. Bhalla! She brings together a brilliant balance of experience and knowledge along with a unique friendly approach which instantly puts you at ease even in a dentist’s chair! Her ethics and professionalism are exemplary and I trust her fully with my family’s dental needs! Her office staff is efficient and very courteous and professional. The facility is neat and clean and fully up-to-date with the latest technology needs at a dental office.
