Missing Teeth
What are Missing Teeth?
Missing teeth refer to the absence of one or more teeth that should normally be present. This condition can significantly impact oral health, appearance, and self-confidence. At Delatite Dental, we specialize in restoring missing teeth to improve both function and aesthetics.
Causes of Missing Teeth
Several factors can contribute to missing teeth, including:
Tooth Decay and Gum Disease
Untreated cavities and gum disease can lead to tooth loss if not addressed promptly.
Trauma or Injury
Accidents or injuries to the mouth can result in the loss of one or more teeth.
Poor Oral Hygiene
Neglecting oral hygiene can lead to gum disease, which is a leading cause of tooth loss.
Genetics
Some people may be more prone to missing teeth due to genetic factors that affect tooth development.
Age
As we age, teeth may become more susceptible to decay and other oral health issues, leading to tooth loss.
Solutions for Missing Teeth
At Delatite Dental, we offer various solutions to restore missing teeth and improve oral health:
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. They are anchored to adjacent teeth or implants and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of titanium posts surgically implanted into the jawbone, topped with realistic-looking crowns.
Dentures
Dentures are removable appliances that replace multiple missing teeth. They can be full dentures (replacing all teeth) or partial dentures (replacing a few teeth).
Implant-Supported Dentures
For added stability, implant-supported dentures are secured to dental implants in the jawbone, providing a more secure fit compared to traditional dentures.

Yes, alternatives include dental bridges and dentures. Dental bridges use adjacent teeth as anchors to fill the gap, while dentures are removable appliances that replace multiple missing teeth.
The process of getting dental implants typically requires several months. It involves surgery to place the implant into the jawbone, a healing period to allow the implant to fuse with the bone (osseointegration), and finally, placement of the artificial tooth (crown) on top of the implant.
