Are you experiencing a loose tooth?

Loose teeth are more common than you think. They are the result of any number of oral health issues, all of which need to be addressed to ensure proper oral health and prevent possible damage to other teeth or your gums.

At Cary Dental, our goal is always to treat the root of any issue you are experiencing. You are a unique individual with particular issues that might be leading to your loose tooth. We offer solutions that address the root cause of your loose tooth to get you on a path of excellent oral health — now and into the future.

What causes a loose tooth?

  • Gum disease
  • Injury from impact
  • Bruxism, or the clenching and grinding of your teeth 
  • Pregnancy

Is it normal for a tooth to wiggle?

While it is part of your child’s oral development for teeth to eventually become loose, your adult teeth should never feel loose. Other than in the case of pregnancy-caused loose teeth, a loose tooth is a sign that something is amiss in your mouth.

How to treat a loose tooth

It is impossible to determine the reason for your loose tooth without conducting a comprehensive exam.

Depending on the severity and root cause of your loose tooth, we might recommend any number of treatments to help stabilize and treat your tooth. Some options include:

  • Treating gum disease with periodontal therapy
  • Stabilizing your tooth with splinting material to help encourage it to heal properly
  • In advanced cases, removing the tooth and replacing it with a dental implant and a durable restoration

When you visit our loose tooth dentist for treatment, we will get to work determining the cause of your loose tooth. We will discuss what you have been experiencing, then take x-rays and conduct an exam to investigate.

Once we determine the cause, we will recommend a treatment plan to fix your loose tooth.

Dr. Cary and his staff are top notch. They have done a phenomenal job that has made me feel good about my smile again. I am so grateful!

Smile Makeover

This patient had worn and crooked teeth. Crowns were needed to prevent fractures. Unfortunately, a  misaligned bite would cause the crowns to wear, too. A full mouth rehabilitation, including braces and crowns, was the answer.

Dental Implants & Smile Makeover

This patient’s front teeth were discolored and worn. One tooth was cracked and had to be removed. We used a dental implant and four new crowns to restore her smile.

Orthodontics (Teenager)

This patient came to our office with crowded teeth, a narrow arch, and poor bite. We used Crozat orthodontics and braces to help her jaw grow, creating room for adult teeth and fixing her poor bite.

Dental Implants

This patient was missing her two front teeth. A failing bridge was damaging the supporting teeth. Using two dental implants and four crowns, we restored her smile.

Orthodontics

This patient had extremely crowded teeth, impacted canine, and an overbite. We used Crozat orthodontics and braces to correct her bite and bring the impacted tooth into the correct position.

Dental Implants

This patient had several failing crowns and missing teeth.  Using a combination of dental implants and crowns, we restored his smile and gave him a more youthful appearance.

Braces & Implant

This patient wanted to improve her smile. Her poor bite was causing her teeth to become loose and worn. She also suffered from gum recession. We used invisible braces, a dental implant, and veneers to enhance her smile.

Crowns & Orthodontic

This patient had old crowns, tooth decay, and a poor bite. We corrected her bite with the help of custom orthodontics, which helped her new crowns look better and last longer, too.
