How do I replace my teeth at Newington CT 06111

Losing your teeth before time can lead to serious problems. It affects the quality of life where you cannot enjoy all the foods you want. Poor nutrition might further affect your health. Missing teeth also make your facial muscles sag and alter your otherwise normal speech. Before we go ahead with the options, let’s understand the reasons behind missing teeth.

• Periodontitis/gum diseases – Any infection that affects the supporting structures of your teeth can cause tooth loss. Untreated gum diseases may destroy the alveolar bones which causes loosening of teeth and eventually its fall. At this stage some patients may need tooth extraction treatments.
• Decay in the tooth – Cavities in tooth if left untreated can destroy the tooth structures and supporting bones.
• Trauma to teeth – Traumatic injury to teeth can cause immediate loss. Damage to the root or tooth pulp may require tooth extraction. Using protective guards while playing sports can minimize trauma injuries to the mouth.
• Para functional habits – Nail biting, bruxism or teeth grinding may wear your teeth down. It may also cause fractures which can require tooth extraction.
• Not addressing the missing teeth – Not replacing the missing teeth can result in additional tooth loss. Also, gaps between teeth may cause drifting of teeth in the mouth resulting in malocclusions.

• Dentures – Single,  several or all of your missing teeth can be replaced by removable partial or full dentures.
