Missing Teeth

If you have missing teeth, you may notice:

• Difficulty chewing or biting certain foods
• Shifting or drifting of surrounding teeth
• Changes in speech or difficulty pronouncing words
• Sunken facial appearance or changes in jaw alignment
• Increased risk of gum disease or tooth decay around adjacent teeth

If you experience these issues, book an appointment promptly. Early treatment can prevent further complications.

Teeth can be lost due to various reasons, including:

• Untreated tooth decay or severe gum disease
• Dental trauma or injury
• Failed root canal treatment
• Severe wear or grinding
• Age-related bone loss or natural tooth loss

Regardless of the cause, timely replacement is essential to maintain oral health.

Our dentists will assess your condition and recommend the best treatment options, such as:

• Dental Implants: Permanent replacements that look and function like natural teeth
• Dental Bridges: Fixed restorations that fill gaps using adjacent teeth for support
• Crowns: To strengthen and protect teeth adjacent to missing ones
• Full or Partial Dentures: Removable options for replacing multiple missing teeth

Our goal is to restore your smile’s function and aesthetics while providing comfortable care.

To help prevent tooth loss, our Mount Waverley dentists recommend:

• Maintaining good oral hygiene habits, including regular brushing and flossing
• Visiting your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings
• Addressing dental issues like decay or gum disease early
• Wearing a mouthguard during contact sports to prevent injury
• Managing teeth grinding or clenching with appropriate treatments
