If you’ve lost one or more of your natural teeth, you may already feel self-conscious about your appearance. But did you know that a missing tooth is much more than a cosmetic issue? It can actually affect your oral health and cause further problems down the road.
Missing teeth don’t just affect your appearance; they also cause problems with the health of your mouth. Over time, teeth that are adjacent to the space previously occupied by the missing tooth can slowly encroach on the gap, causing:
- Damage to your gums
- Heightened risk for gum disease
- A sagging face
- Difficulty eating and speaking
That’s why it’s so important to replace missing teeth. While our Pittsburgh dentists recommend dental implants to patients with sufficient bone density to receive them, dentures remain an excellent option for those who can’t accommodate an implant or do not want to undergo dental implant surgery. Dentures help restore your confidence and improve your health.
Today’s dentures are better than ever thanks to the precise, custom-fit technologies that our dentists employ. Using their advanced understanding of the mouth and facial muscles, Dr. Frye can offer dentures that fit you perfectly.
If you’re missing one or more of your teeth, it’s time to take the next step in restoring your appearance and your oral health. Please contact Dentonics, Inc. today to schedule your appointment with one of our Pittsburgh dentures experts.
