In our recent blogs, we have discussed different options available to replace your missing teeth. No matter how tooth loss has occurred, it’s important that your pearly whites are replaced promptly so that you can continue eating, talking, and showing off your smile without worry. Options like a bridge or denture can help replace several missing teeth, but these may not be the most effective solution for all patients. In today’s blog, your Riverside, CA, dentist is here to talk about how dental implants can help mimic your lost pearly whites.
They Can Address Various Levels Of Tooth Loss
Dental implants can be used to replace one missing dental structure or several. First, you will have a consultation with your dentist where you can discuss the options available based on your needs and other factors. It’s important that you are in good oral health and your jawbone can also support the post that will be inserted. In some cases, additional treatments like periodontal cleanings and jawbone grafting may need to be done first to ensure your gums and jaw are in good condition. The prosthetic option can be used to retain a single prosthetic tooth and can also be used to secure your dentures in place to recreate an entire arch.
Your Jaw And Facial Structure Can Be Supported
If you experience tooth loss and the gaps are left in your smile, it can begin to affect your ability to talk, chew certain foods, smile, and more. Over time, your remaining pearly whites may begin to shift out of place to fill the gap that has been left. Your jawbone may begin to weaken as it does not get the stimulation it needs, and this can cause your facial structure to begin to change. By adding dental implants, you can replace the root and crown of your tooth and provide your jaw with the structure it needs.
They Look Natural And Are A Long Lasting Option
The process from consultation to post insertion can take several months to complete. This can seem intimidating for some patients, but once you have your dental implants they should last for many years with proper care. This prosthetic option is created to blend in with your smile and can last more than twenty years so long as you continue your oral hygiene routine and have restorations done as needed. You can discuss your tooth replacement options with your dentist before choosing the best one for your circumstances.
