A missing tooth can affect more than your smile; it can also impact your confidence, speech, and overall health. At the Atlanta Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, we understand the profound impact tooth loss can have. That’s why we offer a range of innovative solutions designed to restore your smile and your sense of self. 

What Happens After Tooth Loss? (And Why Ignoring It Isn’t an Option) 

Losing a tooth, whether due to injury, decay, or gum disease, can set off a chain reaction: 

• Shifting Teeth: Adjacent teeth may begin to tilt or drift into the empty space, affecting your bite and creating misalignment. 

• Bone Loss: The jawbone that once supported your tooth may begin to deteriorate, leading to a sunken facial appearance over time. 

• Difficulty Eating & Speaking: Missing teeth can make it challenging to chew properly, affecting your diet and nutrition. It can also impact your speech clarity. 

• Loss of Confidence: A gap in your smile can make you feel self-conscious, affecting your social interactions and overall well-being. 

Beyond “Dentures”: The Implant Revolution 

While traditional dentures are a solution, they often come with drawbacks like discomfort, slippage, and dietary restrictions. At ACCD, we believe in a more modern approach: dental implants.  As Dr. Brett Reeve observes, “Patients love this as an alternative [to dentures] because again, they want to their teeth to feel normal, they want to feel natural, they want to feel like they have their teeth there, and this is really the best way of mimicking what they once had.” 

• Implants: A Natural Feel: Dental implants act as artificial tooth roots, providing a stable foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like your natural teeth. 

• Customized for You: Whether you’re missing a single tooth or multiple teeth, we’ll design a personalized implant solution to seamlessly blend with your existing smile. 

• Confidence Restored: Say goodbye to worries about your dentures slipping or affecting your speech. With implants, you can eat, speak, and laugh with confidence. 

Implant Options: Tailored to Your Needs 

Dental implants offer a versatile and long-lasting solution for tooth loss, from replacing a single missing tooth to restoring your entire smile. Explore the possibilities below and discover how we can help you achieve the confident, radiant smile you’ve always wanted. 

• Single Tooth Implants: A single implant replaces both the root and crown of a missing tooth, preserving your natural bone structure and preventing adjacent teeth from shifting. 

• Implant-Supported Bridges: For multiple missing teeth, an implant-supported bridge offers a fixed, stable solution that looks and feels natural. 

• Implant-Retained Dentures: Implants can also secure dentures in place, eliminating slippage and discomfort while providing a more natural chewing experience. 

• “Teeth in a Day”: For patients with significant tooth loss, our “Teeth in a Day” procedure can provide a full arch of beautiful, functional teeth in just one visit. 

At ACCD, we view your smile as an investment in your overall well-being. We’re passionate about helping you achieve a smile that not only looks beautiful but also functions flawlessly and boosts your confidence.
