Our team can replace individual teeth, and also use as few as four per arch to secure a complete set of new teeth. But! In some cases, simply replacing your missing teeth is not enough to address your concerns. If you have sustained trauma to your smile that ahs cost your smile significant structures. With the loss of intraoral tissues, you could have issues eating, speaking or swallowing. This could also negatively impact your appearance and ability to enjoy tooth replacement.
