Why Replace Missing Teeth
When you are missing one or more teeth, your entire mouth suffers. Missing teeth are an aesthetic issue, but they are much more than that. Missing teeth change the tension and strength of your bite. They can interfere with speaking and chewing, and cause adjacent teeth to slip out of place. The jawbone underneath the missing tooth can also begin to deteriorate resulting in shrinkage or collapse.
All tooth replacement options will address the functional issues, but only dental implants can prevent your jaw from shrinking. Due to this, many insurance companies consider dental implants to be necessary and are willing to cover the cost. During your initial consultation with one of our Arlington implant dentists, we can further discuss the benefits of this procedure with you.
If you live in or around Arlington, Tysons Corner, Alexandria, Fairfax, or McLean, Virginia and need to replace one or more missing teeth, please contact Galleria Dental Aesthetics to schedule an initial consultation today.
