There are several reasons why someone may be missing teeth. An individual can lose a tooth because of trauma, accidents, and periodontal disease. Genetic factors also play a role, an individual can be born with fewer than 32 teeth. These situations can lead to problems such as food packing, bite and TMJ dysfunction, as well as aesthetic concerns.
Cosmetic dentistry now offers many options for replacing missing teeth. Some solutions include:
- Dental implants
- Porcelain Dental Bridges
