Tooth Replacement

If you’re missing teeth, you’re probably not smiling. Worse, you’re probably suffering from more problems, including slurred speech, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues, improper bite alignment, and shaken confidence. Also, you’re most likely experiencing more restrictions on the types of foods you can enjoy.

At St. Mary’s Dental in Mechanicsville, we know that smiling is important for your mental and physical health. Research has revealed that smiling improves your mood, your blood pressure, your stress levels, and your immunity. One study even concluded that people who are generally happy and smile often live ten years longer!
