Your Teeth Are Precious

Your Teeth Are Precious

By: Elizabeth Dunkleberger DDS

Let us help you keep them that way

Tooth loss causes two significant threats to your oral and overall health.

#1 Teeth stimulate your jawbone with tiny movements, so tooth loss

means less stimulation ... which results in bone loss ... which means

unattractive physical and cosmetic consequences. That’s why it’s

important to save a tooth compromised by decay or trauma by

strengthening and protecting it with a crown instead of extracting it.

#2 Lost teeth impact the way your remaining teeth fit together and the

way they function. Neighboring teeth shift into the space left behind

which will result in a crooked gapped smile. Without opposing

teeth, chewing efficiency is diminished which invites a multitude of

complex issues that can cause pain, a decline in nutrition, and issues

with speech and self-esteem.

The solution? Tried and true crown and bridge treatment will help keep

your teeth properly aligned and maintain your ability to eat, talk, and smile

with confidence ... helping you to stay physically and mentally healthy.
