A: <\/strong>Losing a back tooth will darken your overall smile making it look smaller and narrower. Your smile will appear to stop short, and the look will be exaggerated if your missing tooth has teeth on both sides of it. Function during chewing will be reduced and function of many teeth can be affected by losing just one tooth. When you are missing a tooth, you compensate by chewing differently, putting pressure on different parts of your mouth. This can cause your other teeth to shift, creating gaps and spaces and may even cause fractures that result in additional tooth loss or in the need for restorations.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”Q: What are my options for replacing a missing tooth?” _builder_version=”3.9″ title=”Q: What are my options for replacing a missing tooth?” icon_color=”#2a9118″ saved_tabs=”all”]<\/p>\n A: <\/strong>By replacing missing teeth-either with a bridge or with an implant, you will alleviate the problems associated with missing a tooth and will restore\u00a0 your smile back its beautiful, full appearance. A bridge is one solution for replacing a tooth. By using neighboring teeth as the supportive structure, your dentist places a porcelain restoration into the vacant space, restoring the functionality and look of your smile. A dental implant is also an excellent solution. Dental implants involve the placement of a titanium post directly into the jawbone. Once the post has bonded to the bone, it can act as a new, solid support for a natural looking, porcelain restoration. Implants can replace a single tooth, or an entire set of teeth, offering more function and permanence than traditional dentures.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_cta admin_label=”T3 CTA Style 1″ _builder_version=”3.9″ title=”Dental Implants” button_text=”LEARN MORE” button_url=”\/dental-implants\/” use_background_color=”off” background_layout=”light” module_class=”t3_m_cta_style1″ saved_tabs=”all”]<\/p>\n A dental implant can be used to restore a single tooth or an entire set of teeth.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ admin_label=”T3 Call To Action” specialty=”off” _builder_version=”3.9″ background_color=”#d9e6c7″ custom_padding=”20px||20px|” module_class=”boxed t3_s_cta_style2″ collapsed=”off” prev_background_color=”#ffffff” global_module=”818″][et_pb_row global_parent=”818″ background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_cta global_parent=”818″ _builder_version=”3.9″ title=”We love to connect with our patients!” button_text=”MAKE YOUR APPOINTMENT” button_url=”\/appointment\/” background_color=”#b7b7b7″ use_background_color=”off” module_class=”t3_m_cta_style2″ \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
