Suffering From Tooth Loss

Suffering From Tooth Loss
 

Tooth loss provides embarrassment to some and inconvenience to others. Many people do not realize when they lose a tooth how serious it actually is, beyond inconvenience and embarrassment. When you have a missing tooth and do not go through a dental procedure to correct it, you may end up with other oral issues.

Tooth loss can contribute to jawbone loss and soft tissue loss. Without your tooth, or a dental replacement, you begin to lose density of the bone. This leaves the patient with a facial structure that begins to look sunken. If you lose soft tissue as well, dental reconstruction begins to need extra surgeries prior to teeth replacement, for structural purposes. 

Dental implants are a great option for those who are missing teeth or a single tooth. Implants can be placed singularly or as a full arch, depending on the patient’s needs. When undergoing dental implants, your dentist will check for jawbone density and soft tissue amount. When this occurs, and your dentist does not deem either sufficient to hold an implant, you will need to undergo grafting prior to the implant placement. Once the implant can be placed, a titanium rod will be inserted, acting as the new root structure for your new teeth. From there, an abutment is placed which allows for the attachment of the crown. The crown is then placed on top of the abutment and implant, after it is created to your liking. 

Your dental implant(s) will provide you with a strong smile, that is permanent and aesthetically beautiful. With the new technology in dentistry, implants look and feel like natural teeth, but provide you with more biting power. 

If you are missing teeth and are ready to have a complete smile once again, dental implants are a great solution for many. Implants will bring back your glowing grin while allowing you to enjoy in conversation and indulge in your favorite foods. 

Contact your dental practice for more information on dental implants. Implants provide a smile reconstruction to those who need it and are a solution for those who are ready to regain their confidence. Your dentist will be able to help you achieve the smile you’re looking for, and improve your self confidence.
