Lost teeth can impact one’s smile in a number of different ways. For example, the smile is forever changed, especially when the lost tooth is one of the anterior teeth. Additionally, the existing teeth can shift around, creating more gaps within the smile. Patients with one or more missing teeth may also have reduced chewing efficiency and may find it more difficult to speak clearly. It is important that Newington, CT patients address their missing teeth as soon as possible with a tooth replacement option. There are many options available at Cedar Mountain Dental, but our dentists will often recommend the placement of dental implants.

When patients are faced with misalignment of the teeth, they often cringe at the idea of bringing up their concerns with a dentist for fear of being told they require braces.
