Replace missing teeth in Worcester

Dental Office 01605

Living with missing teeth may seem like a mere cosmetic issue, but it is actually a serious dental concern as well. Gaps in your smile will not only affect how it looks overall when you speak or smile but it will also have an impact on your bite and the wellbeing of any remaining teeth that you may have. Our cosmetic dentists in Worcester here at Pearla Dental can help you when it comes to replacing missing teeth and improving your oral hygiene by providing you with the comprehensive care that you need.

Missing teeth can cause a series of oral health problems and concerns. The loss of teeth usually causes some form of trauma, whether you have lost teeth due to decay, injury or even simply old age. Aside from the cause of the loss of teeth, the absence of teeth within your smile can have a serious effect on your bite. Missing teeth puts a significant amount of strain on your bite and any surrounding teeth. This additional strain may actually cause these teeth to shift in place. Additionally, the loss of teeth will put your other teeth at risk. Because these teeth are now more exposed within your mouth, there is more surface area for plaque to cling to and accumulate, putting your oral hygiene in jeopardy. Here at Pearla Dental can help. When it comes to replacing missing teeth, there are several options open to you. Bridges can be used to close small gaps in your smile, filling it out with artificial teeth that are attached to a retainer that is then inserted into the mouth. Bridges can be removable or fixed depending on your preferences. If you have more teeth missing, then dentures or partial dentures may be better for you. Dentures are artificial teeth that rest over the gumline, typically attached daily with the use of a safe adhesive. If you want a stronger and more natural option, dental implants are also available.

If you have missing teeth, worry no more. Call us here at Pearla Dental to schedule an appointment with one of our cosmetic dentists in Worcester  today. They will work with you to find the best solution when it comes to replacing your teeth and restoring your smile.
