FAILING, MISSING, OR KNOCKED OUT TEETH

Saving Teeth and Restoring Smiles

Tooth loss or severe damage affects more than just your smile. Without timely care, nearby teeth can shift out of place, the jawbone may weaken, and your bite can become misaligned, causing discomfort and leading to further dental issues.

Modern dentistry offers multiple solutions to restore both function and appearance, helping you:

• Maintain proper bite alignment and jaw health
  
• Restore chewing and speaking ability
  
• Protect remaining teeth from additional shifting
  
• Boost confidence with a natural-looking smile
  

At Laser Dental Bakersfield, we design personalized treatment plans based on your needs, preferences, and long-term oral health goals. Acting quickly in the case of a dental emergency or addressing a failing tooth early, can make all the difference in saving your smile.

• Wear a Mouth Guard – Use a custom-fitted guard during sports or if you grind your teeth at night
  
• Address Pain Early – Don’t ignore loose, damaged, or painful teeth; prompt treatment can often save them
  
• Handle Knocked-Out Teeth Properly – Keep the tooth moist (in milk or inside your mouth) and seek dental care immediately
  
• Stay Consistent with Dental Checkups – Early detection prevents small problems from turning into serious issues
