Dental Implants for Missing Teeth in Adults

Dr. Ronald Rice may recommend dental implants for replacing missing teeth in adults. If you have lost a single tooth or have a few missing teeth, dental implants can help to restore optimal functioning of your mouth and also reduce the risk of bone loss.

Statistics tell us that by the age of 35 years, one out of every three adults has a missing tooth. One-third of adults 74 years of age and older have lost all of their teeth. These are startling numbers and it is why prevention is key.

Causes of Missing Teeth in Adults

Your teeth can be lost for a number of different reasons, some of which are under our control while others are not. Many people lose their teeth due to excessive decay, injury to the mouth, gum disease, or from a combination of these factors. Dr. Rice can restore your smile with dental implants, a dental solution that looks, feels, and functions just like your real teeth.
