Waiting around for weeks or longer with a gap in your smile may not be palatable to you. If you’re in the public eye or have a job that demands customer interactions, it’s impossible. When you’ve found a cosmetic dentist who’s also your family dentist, your worries are over. As long as your gums and bones are healthy, you may be able to walk out of the dentist’s office with an implant and crown all in the same day!
The psychological implications of losing your teeth can be huge. People with even one missing tooth — especially in the front of the mouth — avoid smiling or laughing in public. Tooth loss directly affects your self-confidence and how people perceive you. It also affects your abilities to chew and talk properly. And it can have long-term health implications.
