Why It's Important to Replace Missing Teeth
Gaps in your smile impact your confidence, but there are also consequences for your dental health. Lost teeth equal lost roots, leaving your jawbone with nothing to support. As a result, it begins to deteriorate, eliminating support for neighboring teeth and your facial structure. The result can be more missing teeth and a sunken appearance that makes you look older than you are.
Chewing with one or more missing teeth can also be complicated and even painful in some cases. Other teeth have to take up the slack for the missing teeth, chewing in ways they weren't designed for, which can result in fractures or further damage.
Missing teeth that aren't replaced can lead to neighboring teeth moving into the open space, causing bite misalignment. Bite misalignment can result in a painful joint disorder known as temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD).
Why Dental Implants Are the Gold Standard
Dental implants are the only tooth replacement options that restore both your tooth and root, which makes them the closest to a natural tooth.
Replacing your lost root is essential to guard against the bone deterioration that occurs when you lose a tooth. Replacing your tooth keeps your bite aligned and teeth from shifting, ensuring you can chew, eat, and smile easily.
