When teeth are prematurely lost and not replaced, adjacent teeth can shift into the
vacant spaces. This can cause many undesirable consequences, such as:
1) changes in the bite, which can impair chewing and create stress on other teeth and the jaw
2) cheeks "sinking in" and a change in facial appearance
3) increased plaque build-up, which increases the risk of decay and gum disease
With today's modern dentistry, more and more people are able to hold onto all their
teeth their entire life! But in the cases where teeth cannot be saved and must be
extracted, Drs. Black and Bass offer many practical alternatives, such as: Crown and Bridge Treatment, Implant Supported Bridgework, Full and Partial Dentures.
