Losing Your Smile?

Restore Your Smile and Your Confidence

If you’ve lost teeth or are about to have some extracted, you’re facing many new limitations. You might only be able to eat soft foods because eating anything else causes discomfort. You might not be able to speak clearly and naturally. You can smile, but the idea embarrasses you—especially if the missing teeth are in your smile zone. If tooth loss leads to bone recession, your face may even take on a sunken, aged appearance.

Many solutions to recover your smile include dental bridges and dental implants, which offer the function and aesthetics of natural teeth, jaw protection, and unequaled longevity. You may be surprised how quickly you can eat, speak, laugh, and smile again once our team replaces your teeth at Dental Implant Center of Royal Oak. If you have failing or missing teeth in Farmington Hills & Royal Oak, MI, reach out, and we’ll help you find the tooth replacement solution you need for a complete, confident, and healthy smile.

Why Replace Damaged or Missing Teeth?

If treatment like root canals, gum disease treatment, and restorative dentistry are ineffective, damaged, infected, and failing teeth, should be removed to protect your dental health and even systemic health. Unless they’re wisdom teeth or extra teeth that are causing overcrowding in your mouth, most teeth should be replaced after removal. Apart from the ways tooth loss can decrease your quality of life, it can also trigger a sort of “domino effect” in your health. Without natural tooth roots stimulating healthy bone growth, your bone will begin to deteriorate beneath the empty tooth socket. This will spread and can even lead to additional tooth loss in adjacent teeth. Replacing your tooth before extensive bone loss can occur will help prevent unnecessary additional harm as well as the need for bone grafting procedures. If your bone is stable enough or has received bone reconstructive treatment, you’ll have the option between dental bridges, dentures, and dental implants for your new, complete smile.
