Dealing with tooth loss can not only be upsetting and difficult to experience, but it can come with challenges in your daily life as well. A missing tooth can affect your appearance if it is a visible tooth and it can cause changes in your bite and the way you chew if it is a rear tooth. No matter the location of your missing tooth, we recommend replacing it as soon as possible. We offer a tooth replacement option that can restore one tooth or multiple teeth at one time.

No matter the reason for the missing tooth, we believe our patients should always choose a tooth replacement.
If you have young children or think back to your youth, there is nothing quite like the excitement of losing your teeth. Wiggling the tooth back and forth until it falls out is a moment of pure joy for children. Then comes the fun of putting the tooth under the pillow for the tooth fairy and eagerly waiting to see what is left in exchange for the tooth.
