Sometimes, things happen. But when you wind up losing one or more of your natural teeth due to periodontal disease, injury, or something else, it’s time to talk to your dentist about making a change. The simple truth of the matter is that you rely on your smile to make a great first impression and adult tooth loss can lead to more missing teeth if you don’t address it. So, when you’re ready to make your way back to a complete, quality smile, stop putting it off.
Dr. Philip Farruggia, DMD at Appletree Family Dental in Olathe, KS understands that advanced dentistry brings real results. That’s why we’ve invested in our patients’ success in a range of ways, including CEREC dental crowns and biocompatible dental implant placement. Dental implants use an interesting quirk of the human body to connect lifelike prosthetics directly to the bone tissue of the jaw, creating a sturdy connection that patients can trust.

Adult Tooth Loss? Call Your Dentist
You are only given one set of adult teeth to last you your entire lifetime. That means that you need to take care of your smile through twice-daily brushing (for a full two minutes each time) and daily flossing. But even with that effort, sometimes adult tooth loss still happens.
When it does, it’s important to reach out to a qualified oral health professional. Our office can help you to understand the reason for your tooth loss, as well as ways to move forward now that it has come. If you don’t address the cause of this situation, you could be in store for more, so let’s talk about smile safety.
Dental Implant Technology Offers A Strong Smile
At your consultation after losing one or more of your adult teeth, talk to Dr. Farruggia about your options. Depending on the location and extent of the tooth loss, different solutions may be more suitable for you. Also, be sure to ask about dental implant technology, too.
Dental implants use a small, threaded titanium post to create a foundation for a prosthodontic renewal. This means that they derive their strength from a connection directly to bone, which helps them provide real chewing strength. Implant technology has changed the game when it comes to replacing teeth, so see if it’s right for you.
