Knowing your options is always an important strategy. In the case of tooth replacement, there are a few choices: crown and bridge, partial and full dentures and dental implants. Whenever possible, I like to recommend dental implants in Leesburg. These tooth replacements offer distinct advantages over the others and provide a more lifelike tooth and smile for patient comfort and aesthetic appeal.
The American College of Prosthodontists estimates that some 35 million Americans do not have any teeth, and approximately 178 million are missing at least one tooth. Those numbers are expected to increase as baby boomers continue to age. Tooth loss can be the result of severe decay and periodontal disease or the result of traumatic injury, cancer, or abnormal wear. Regardless of the reason, tooth replacement is vital in order to avoid other oral health problems and even consequences to your general health. I offer several different options for tooth replacement.
