Toothlessness, also known as edentulism, can refer to a single missing tooth, multiple missing teeth, or a completely toothless mouth. Each of these situations comes with its own set of challenges and needs for dental restoration.

Restoring missing teeth isn’t just about placing implants – sometimes it is just the tip of the iceberg of many procedures needed to improve the function and the aesthetics of the smile.
When teeth are missing, usually there also misses parts of bones, connective tissue, and other elements of jaws.

In some cases, we need bone grafts to provide a solid foundation for implants. In other cases, we might use connective tissue grafts to improve gum health and appearance.
One of the important segments of dental restorations is getting the bite right – because the proper position of the teeth helps us ensure the healthy function of the masticatory system – breathing, eating, and speaking, and make results of dental restoration permanent.
