Dr. David R. Liebes

At our practice, one of the most common questions patients ask is: “Should I choose a dental implant or a bridge to replace my missing tooth?”

While both options can restore your smile, Dr. Liebes strongly recommends dental implants in most cases because they provide a more natural, long-lasting, and health-focused solution.

Why Dental Implants Are Better Than Bridges - Liebes Dental When a tooth is lost, the surrounding bone begins to shrink due to lack of stimulation. Over time, this can affect not only your oral health but also your facial appearance.

Research has shown that patients who retain their natural teeth tend to live, on average, up to five years longer than those who have lost all of their teeth!

Can Tooth Loss Affect How Long You Live? - Liebes Dental Your mouth is the gateway to your body. When your teeth and gums are healthy, it supports better overall health in several ways:

At Liebes Dental, we believe great oral health starts with simple daily habits—and flossing is one of the most important. While brushing twice a day is essential, it’s not enough on its own. Flossing plays a key role in preventing cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues that brushing alone can’t reach. 🪥🦷

Why Flossing Is Essential for a Healthy Smile - Liebes Dental Your toothbrush cleans the surfaces of your teeth, but it can’t effectively reach between them or below the gumline. These areas are where plaque and food particles often build up. Daily flossing removes debris from these hard-to-reach spaces, helping prevent tooth decay and gum inflammation.
