Missing Teeth
Restore Your Smile, Your Bite, and Your Confidence.
Why Replacing Missing Teeth Matters
If your teeth look small, your gumline seems irregular, or your smile appears “gummy,” you may be dealing with excessive or uneven gums. These issues are often caused by genetics, past orthodontic treatment, or how your teeth erupted. While not always a health concern, uneven gums can affect your smile’s symmetry and impact your confidence. At Science of Smiles in Pasadena, Dr. Lee offers safe, precise gum contouring treatments to reshape your gumline and create a more balanced, natural-looking smile.
Common Problems Caused by Missing Teeth
When a tooth is lost, the space it leaves behind can affect your entire mouth. Neighboring teeth may drift out of alignment, the bone underneath can begin to deteriorate, and chewing may become uncomfortable or uneven. In some cases, missing teeth can also affect speech or facial appearance. That’s why Dr. Lee emphasizes timely replacement—to protect the balance of your bite and support overall oral health.
Tooth Replacement Options at Science of Smiles
Dr. Lee offers a range of restorative treatments to suit your needs, goals, and budget:
-
Dental Implants: The gold standard for single or multiple tooth replacement. Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth and help preserve jawbone health.
-
Dental Bridges: A fixed option that anchors an artificial tooth to adjacent teeth, great for patients missing one or more teeth in a row.
-
Implant-Supported Dentures: A more secure and comfortable alternative to traditional removable dentures.
-
Traditional Dentures: Custom-crafted for comfort and natural appearance, dentures restore your smile affordably and quickly.
Each solution is designed with your comfort, appearance, and long-term oral health in mind.
