Embarrassed by the gap left from a missing tooth?  Do you cover your mouth with your hand when you laugh because you don’t want people to see your smile?  When you’re in photos, are you always the person who poses with their mouth closed?

It’s time to take action. Two extremely effective treatments are available from cosmetic dentists that can resolve the gaps left from a missing tooth (or teeth).  Bridges and implants both offer sound solutions and can be made to look completely natural. Bridges work exactly as their name implies.  A “fake” tooth is created and anchored by crowns placed upon the teeth on either side of the gap—essentially bridging the void space with a real-looking tooth replacement.  Implants are fabricated teeth that are anchored directly into the bone and gums.  The do not require the assistance of teeth on either side of a gap and can stand alone.  They are highly durable, and if maintained properly, can last a lifetime.

Stop being embarrassed by the gaps in your smile and contact a cosmetic dentist today to learn more about bridges and implants.
