Missing bottom teeth can make you feel self-conscious about your smile and overall appearance. They are also quite harmful and can lead to serious problems in the future. Believe it or not, research has shown that tooth loss may eventually lead to heart disease, diabetes, and kidney disease.
There are several reasons you may lose your teeth. Poor oral hygiene, poor eating habits, and accidents are a few of the most common reasons. When tooth loss is left untreated, your adjacent teeth may slowly shift in attempt to close the gap.
These shifting teeth form new spaces between other teeth and allow food to get caught and build up. Over time, these spaces become a challenge to maintain and make it easy for cavity causing bacteria to settle and lead to gum disease.
The good news is that there are ways to resolve missing tooth and help you feel more confident while protecting your oral health. Here at Costa Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer the following restorative dental procedures:
- Bridges
- Implants
- Crowns
