Dental implants can replace missing teeth, taking on individual missing teeth or even supporting a complete set of dentures. These can last longer than traditional tooth replacement options, and also keep your smile and facial structure intact. In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about the benefits of placing dental implants.
The Causes and Risks of Losing Natural Teeth
Let’s talk about what losing natural teeth can do to your smile. When you suffer from tooth loss, this gap could allow nearby teeth to drift, creating misalignment and also increasing the risk of complications like TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). As your tooth loss advances, you could also experience limited meal options and even trouble with clear speech.
But the worst complication of all is the loss of mass and density in your jaw. Without tooth loss to stimulate the growth of jawbone structure, the jaw weakens around these lost teeth and erodes, leading to additional lost teeth and even an aged appearance. But we can help keep your smile intact for years, even decades, with dental implants.
Placing Dental Implants
Unlike traditional tooth replacement options like bridges or removable dentures, with dental implants we insert a post made from biocompatible titanium into the jaw, where it acts as a new root. This helps stimulate growth in the jaw so the area doesn’t lose mass and density, keeping your smile intact. We surgically insert these, and these can remain in place for years to come, possibly decades or even a lifetime!
Completing Your New Teeth
What about the part people see when you smile? For an individual one, we can connect a custom crown to complete the tooth and require a lifelike appearance and durable chewing surface. With options like All-On-Four, we can provide a full set of new teeth in one visit too. Our team can help you smile with confidence and enjoy your favorite meals without trouble! If you have any questions about how we address missing teeth with one or more of our dental implants, then please reach out to our team today to learn more and start your journey to a full smile.
