Dental implants not only look natural, but they also stimulate jawbone growth to ensure your smile stays intact and that you can enjoy tooth replacement that lasts for decades to come. Whether you need one new tooth or a set of fixed dentures, we can help! In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about dental implants.
The Causes and Dangers of Tooth Loss
Tooth loss can impact smiles of all ages, but as we grow older the risk of losing teeth increases, often due to oral health issues like periodontal disease. When we lose our teeth, whether due to injury, cavities and infection, or gum disease, this could mean poorer oral health. The gaps in our smile can lead to oral health complications, including misalignment and bruxism (teeth grinding). You could be limited in your meal choices, and your nutritional intake could suffer. Clear speech and your confidence levels could tank, and your jaw could weaken as your body stops sending doses of calcium and phosphorus to the areas around the missing roots. This alone could lead to further tooth loss and an older appearance! But we can help with implant dentistry.
Inserting Dental Implants
Our team will employ digital imaging to plan the placement of your new tooth roots. The dental implants themselves are small posts made from titanium, a biocompatible material the body sees as natural root structure. Once in place, this bonds with the jawbone to strengthen your smile and keep it intact, and to also ensure your new teeth can stay in place for decades to come, possibly a lifetime in some situations.
New Teeth and Fixed Dentures
What about the part people see when you smile? For an individual tooth, our team could create a lifelike crown to complete the tooth. If you have more advanced cases of tooth loss, the multiple post could be used to secure bridges and even a set of dentures, so you have a fixed and longer-lasting solution to minor and advanced cases of tooth loss.
