Missing Teeth
Having missing teeth can not only make it more difficult to chew or smile, but it can also lead to bigger dental issues down the road! When you begin losing a tooth, the other teeth compensate for the missing space in that area. This can be troublesome, because when your tooth begins to move into that empty space, it can potentially lead to gum problems and even cause bone loss! If you have any missing teeth, call our Huntington Beach office today to schedule with our amazing dental team!
We offer multiple options for replacing missing teeth. Implants and bridges are a great permanent option for missing teeth! Partials dentures are also a good, removable option for replacing missing teeth.
Implants can take longer to heal, but they are free-standing on their own. Healing time is usually 6 months to a year from start to finish. The turnaround time for a dental bridge is about 2-3 weeks, conversely. Both restoration options are available to you if you are a proper candidate. Our team would need an exam and x-rays to determine if either a dental bridge or dental implants are right for you! Give our office a call today to schedule your consultation with our team.
