Dental Implants

Dental Implants

Dental implants are one of the most popular forms of teeth replacement – and for a good reason! They’re significantly more effective and durable than removable dentures. This tooth replacement option is ideal for patients looking for a permanent way to restore their missing teeth.

Why Should You Replace Missing Teeth?

You don’t want to wait too long to replace your missing or extracted teeth. Not only can gaps in your mouth impact your self-esteem, but they can also harm your oral health. The longer you go with a missing tooth, the more likely the neighboring teeth will shift to try and fill the space. This can result in alignment issues.

Missing teeth can also result in bone loss, as the root that stimulates jawbone growth is no longer present. Talking and eating can become more difficult if you don’t have all your teeth, resulting in speech impairments and possible digestive problems.

Taking Care of Your Dental Implants

Dental implants are a permanent solution, but they still require good care. You want to keep up with healthy oral hygiene practices to prevent decay from damaging the surrounding tissues. Below are some other tips for taking proper care of your tooth replacements:

• Visit the dentist regularly
• Don't smoke
• Wear a guard during sports or if you have bruxism
