Consequences of Missing Teeth

When you have lost one or more teeth you may begin to see serious negative effects. These effects go far beyond your mouth to include your whole body health. The effects of missing teeth include:

Shifting of other teeth
Stress on other teeth
Difficulty chewing and eating
Malnutrition
Difficulty speaking
Changes in facial appearance

Dentures can address these issues to maintain your youthful appearance, your overall health, and your self-confidence.

Bone Grafting Palo Alto

Your Palo Alto dentists offer bone grafting in order to improve the results of dental implants. Bone grafting is a routine, painless and straight forward process. When a tooth is removed the socket will collapse inward decreasing the amount of available bone for the future implant. In the old days, bone grafting required the use of the patient’s own bone taken from another area of the mouth. Thankfully this is no longer necessary, as we can use a xenograft or an allograft at the time the tooth is removed to preserve the socket and amount of available bone. The human body is then “fooled” biochemically into resorbing and replacing the graft with the patient’s own bone.

Patient Testimonials & Reviews

Dr. Hansen's expertise, professionalism, and dedication to patient care is exceptional. My family and I (all Dr. Hansen's patients) are so grateful to be under her care. From a comprehensive initial evaluation, thorough hygienic visits and state of the art dental care (customized crowns made on site!), we are very pleased with the care we receive. The staff is very welcoming, knowledgeable, and trained very well. Dr. Hansen's dedication to quality and optimal patient care is superb. We have had several dental emergencies in the last year and Dr. Hansen has gone above and beyond to help us get thru them safely and with the best outcome possible. Thank you Dr. Hansen! We are so lucky to have you! The Lazarov family

After not seeing a dentist for several years, my teeth needed a lot of work. Dr. Hansen pointed out the most critical areas, presenting options for the remainder. Never had a prior dentist been as concerned for the long term health of my teeth. Dr. Hansen planned treatments in order of importance, and completed all within a year. The highly competent staff set up appointments for me when an outside specialist was required—and their work is highly commendable as well. Every member of the staff is courteous, gentle, supportive, and knowledgeable. They did an excellent job of explaining care and prevention of my teeth and gums. I was shocked at how little I knew about dental care before I went to Dr. Hansen. Now I have healthy, beautiful teeth that I know how to take care of!

Can't say enough about how amazing the entire team is here! Dr. Hansen has been a joy to work with, as has the entire team she has working with her. Everyone I have interacted with has been kind, attentive, and communicates clearly and thoroughly. I, along with my wife and 3 kids, all use and love Dr. Hansen and can't imagine using another dentist!
