Do you have one or more missing teeth? You’re not alone. According to the American Dental Association, the average adult between the ages of 20 and 64 has decayed or missing teeth.
If the gap left by your missing teeth is out of sight, you may think it’s okay to delay treatment. However, there’s a scary side to avoiding correcting the issue.
One obvious reason to seek treatment is aesthetics – unsightly gaps in your smile could cause embarrassment. However, there are more serious, long-term issues to consider as well. Missing teeth can affect your ability to speak or chew. Additionally, ignoring the issue could result in serious teeth shifting and permanent bone loss.
The good news is there are many treatment options for one or more missing teeth! Dr. Martin specializes in helping patients like you find the right solutions. Depending on your unique situation, shemay recommend one of the following options:
What are your options?
Dental Implants
Dental implants are considered to be the most natural-looking, longest-lasting solutions for missing teeth. A post, typically made of titanium, is placed in the jawbone and serves as a substitute for the root of the tooth. Your bone will “fuse” with the implant, creating a strong and natural foundation for the replacement tooth. An abutment and crown are connected to the implant.
For patients with several missing teeth, an implant-supported fixed bridge is a strong, long-lasting option. Implant-supported dentures are a comfortable, natural solution far superior to removable dentures for patients who may be missing all of their teeth. In each case, as with individual implants, healthy bone is stimulated and deterioration is prevented.

Fixed Bridge
A tooth-supported fixed bridge is a common alternative procedure. First, the adjacent teeth are prepared (or, ground down) to support the bridge. The bridge will then be attached to those teeth. While a fixed bridge typically costs less than implants, it may not last as long and requires additional maintenance and care.
How can you decide which option is right for you?
Every patient is different and has his or her unique needs. There’s no “one-size-fits-all” solution for missing teeth. That’s why we make it a point to openly and clearly discuss all of your options so you can feel fully informed before choosing treatment.
