Why should I replace missing teeth?
You can lose teeth because of several issues, including accidents, advanced decay, and gum disease. Your poor genetics may also predispose you to tooth loss. Whatever the reason, you must replace your missing teeth immediately.Â
When you fail to replace your teeth, you’ll experience the following issues.Â
Bone loss: When you lose a tooth, you lose about 25% of the jawbone in the first year, which deteriorates over time.Â
Confidence loss: Missing even one tooth can dim your confidence in personal, social, and professional settings.Â
Diminished oral function: Tooth loss diminishes your chewing and speaking ability. This limits you to soft foods and affects how you pronounce certain words.Â
Premature tooth wear: Tooth loss subjects the remaining teeth to uneven chewing and biting forces, causing premature wear and tear.Â
TMJ pain: The TMJ is a complex joint that relies on proper alignment for smooth operation. When teeth are missing, the joint can shift out of its ideal alignment, causing abnormal wear and tear on the joint surfaces over time.
Replacing missing teeth prevents several issues that naturally follow tooth loss, ensuring you maintain appearance and functionality. The good news is that numerous teeth replacement options are within your reach.Â
Actual Patients Before and After Results
How do dental implants replace missing teeth?
While you can replace your missing teeth with dentures and bridges, dental implants remain the tried and tested teeth replacement. A dental implant is structurally designed to mimic your natural teeth, offering numerous health and cosmetic benefits.Â
We are a full-service dental implant office. We offer numerous dental implant solutions to give everyone a reason to smile.Â
Single implants: Our dental implants can restore lost teeth without damaging neighboring teeth. After surgically implanting a titanium post, the dentist replaces the jawbone with a crown that looks natural. One implant works in harmony with the other teeth to restore functionality and a healthy bite.Â
Implant bridge: This implant solution replaces more than one missing tooth in a row. The nearby natural teeth anchor traditional bridges, but implant bridges are secured in the jawbone. Implant-supported bridges are more stable and don’t involve shaving down the nearby teeth to place crowns. Our dental bridges are aesthetically designed and look like an extension of the remaining teeth.Â
All-on-4 dental implants: Have you lost all your teeth in one arch or both? We can combine dental implants and dentures to restore your smile. Known as all-on-4 dental implants, this innovative teeth replacement system uses only four implants per arch to replace missing teeth. Unlike conventional dentures, the all-on-4 system provides near-perfect comfort, stability, and durability.Â
