Q. What will I do if I am missing some teeth?

A. People nowadays have many options for replacing missing teeth. You can opt for dental bridges and dental implants, although they have their share of advantages and disadvantages. If you are losing several teeth, seek treatment right away from our Boynton dentist. The teeth beside your gaps may shift their angles or direction. Moreover, having a missing tooth or teeth can lead to hygiene problems, bone loss or difficulties in eating and speaking.

Q. How will I know if I am a good candidate for dental implants?

A. Almost everyone who has one or more teeth missing and who wants to have a replacement can be a good candidate.  However, anyone who will be undergoing such a procedure will have to have enough bone to stabilize the dental implant. Some patients who have bone loss may need to have a bone grafting procedure first before getting a dental implant.
