Missing a tooth? It's about more than just your smile!
It might not seem like a big deal, especially if it's a tooth you can't see when you smile. But leaving a missing tooth untreated can lead to changes over time.
Here's what can happen:
🦷 Neighboring teeth may begin to shift into the empty space
🍎 Chewing certain foods may become more difficult
🦴 The jawbone where the tooth was lost can gradually shrink
The good news? There are options!
Dental implants are one way to replace missing teeth, helping restore your smile, chewing function, and support for the surrounding jawbone.
Every smile is different, and the best solution depends on your individual needs. At Key Dental, we're happy to walk you through your options and help you decide what's right for you.
