We understand the emotional and functional impact of missing teeth. When even just a single tooth is missing, it can alter your quality of life, affecting everything from basic activities like eating and speaking to your overall self-confidence. You deserve a vibrant smile that reflects your inner happiness and vitality, and at Dental Wellness of Lexington, we’re here to help you achieve that.
Why Is It Important To Address Missing Teeth?
Beyond altering your appearance, missing teeth have meaningful consequences on your oral and overall health. These gaps can lead to further tooth loss, misalignment and even impact your nutrition and jawbone health. At Dental Wellness of Lexington, we are committed to crafting solutions that will both restore your smile and protect your health.
Protection of Oral Health: Replacing missing teeth prevents your adjacent teeth from drifting, which can lead to misalignment and further dental issues.
Preservation of Jawbone Integrity: Dental implants, one of our key tooth replacement options, help maintain the strength and density of your jawbone, preventing the sunken facial appearance associated with tooth loss.
What Solutions Are Available For Missing Teeth?
Our specialists offer a variety of state-of-the-art treatments designed to address tooth loss in ways that best meet your personal needs and goals.
Dental implants provide a permanent and natural-looking solution and act as strong supports for crowns, bridges or dentures. They replicate your full tooth structure, making them one of the most secure and enduring methods of tooth replacement available.
Dental bridges fill the space left by one or several missing teeth. Custom-made to blend flawlessly with your natural teeth, these restorations stabilize your bite and improve your ability to chew and speak clearly.
Dentures restore your smile’s full function and aesthetic appeal. Whether you need full or partial dentures, our custom-designed modern dentures are comfortable and crafted to look and feel natural.
We Believe In Smiles That Light Up The Room
Smiling is a universal language of happiness, and Dental Wellness of Lexington aims to give you every reason to share yours with the world. Our patients frequently tell us how reclaiming a complete smile has revitalized their confidence and enhanced their quality of life. One patient reflected, “Choosing dental implants was life-changing. Not only do I eat better, but I feel a confidence I hadn’t realized I lost,” sharing a testimonial of newfound joy and assurance.
Because Self-Esteem Matters
If you’re missing a tooth, it’s vital to replace it as soon as possible to prevent other oral health issues from developing. Missing teeth can cause adjacent teeth to drift into the empty space, leading to misalignment and potential bite problems. At Dental Wellness of Lexington, we provide options like dental implants, bridges and dentures to restore both function and aesthetics.
Dental implants involve placing a small titanium post in the jawbone, which acts like a tooth root. Once the implant fuses with the bone, it provides a strong foundation for crowns, bridges or dentures. This not only restores the appearance of your smile but also its function, enabling you to eat and speak with confidence.
Yes, you can still be a candidate for dental implants even if you’ve been missing teeth for some time. However, your bone density needs to be evaluated. In some cases, a bone graft might be required to support the implants. An initial consultation will help us determine the best approach for your situation.
All-On-4 is an innovative treatment designed for replacing a full arch of teeth using only four implants. This cost-effective and time-saving solution offers stability and function similar to natural teeth while avoiding the need for multiple surgeries.
