Rebuild Your Smile, Restore Your Confidence

Rebuild Your Smile, Restore Your Confidence

We can help people with missing or damaged teeth first by recognizing if it's a problem. The damaged teeth, sometimes that's not quite so obvious. Of course, you know, if someone's having symptoms, if they're having pain or discomfort with chewing, then that's pretty straightforward.We just, of course, need to make sure we're figuring out what the cause of it is and what the solution is. What can be a little bit more insidious is when there's things that are going on unbeknownst to the patient. They have a crack in a tooth that they can't see, they can't feel yet.The key word is yet. It's going to be a problem. Maybe it's a few years down the road, but it's so much easier to know that that's going to be a problem and know what your solutions are.And the solutions are generally easier, less invasive, less expensive. If we get to it before symptoms start to develop, then if we wait for something to break or to be the point where I can't fix it and it needs to be lost or removed. I think it's important to have a healthy, functional smile for several reasons.First and foremost, your ability to chew and function. The one thing that I've found over the years that's really quite powerful is when someone has a smile that they don't feel good about, what that does to them as a person. I've seen several people that over the years are very self-conscious.It affects how they interact with everyone in their life and causes everyone else to make judgments about them. I've seen several people that everyone thinks are grumpy or they have some sort of attitude, whatever it is. And really, at its core, that person's embarrassed of their smile.And if I get the opportunity to fix it, I don't think it's dramatic in saying that can be life-changing. Now, they're still going to be able to chew just like they did before, hopefully better, but changing how they feel about themselves changes how the world sees them. And that's pretty neat.

A dental bridge closes the gap left by one or more missing teeth. We anchor the bridge to nearby teeth or implants. It will restore your chewing power and prevent other teeth from drifting out of place.
