Failing, Missing, or Knocked Out Teeth

Restoring Your Smile With Trusted Treatments

Why Replacing or Repairing Teeth Matters

At Dentistry of Upland, we know that tooth loss or damage isn’t just a cosmetic concern, it can also impact your overall oral health. When a tooth is missing or failing, nearby teeth may begin to shift, the jawbone can weaken, and your bite may become misaligned, leading to discomfort and long-term issues. Acting quickly is key to restoring both health and confidence. Restoring your smile helps to:

Prevention and Emergency Care Tips

At Dentistry of Upland, we focus on both prevention and quick response when problems arise:


  • Wear a Mouthguard
    Protect your teeth during sports or at night if you grind or clench.
  • Address Pain Early
    Never ignore loose, painful, or failing teeth. Early treatment can often save them.
  • Handle Knocked-Out Teeth Properly
    Keep the tooth moist (in milk or your mouth) and get emergency care immediately.
  • Stay Consistent with Checkups
    Visit us every 4–6 months so we can detect issues early and prevent future tooth loss.
