Dental Implants are by far the best solution for missing teeth. The loss of even a single tooth can be devastating to surrounding tooth structure. These problems can also extend beyond your oral health and have negative effects on your social life. Your appearance, chewing ability and self-confidence are all compromised when you have a missing tooth. If treatment is delayed tooth loss also invites other oral problems, including bone loss. This is especially true when patients delay treatment and teeth are not replaced. Today, many patients turn to dental implants for tooth replacement – and for good reason. Dental Implants are the only solution that mimics natural tooth structure and prevents further breakdown of the jaw bone. This is because a dental implant’s post acts like the root of a natural tooth to stimulate the jawbone. If taken care of, dental implants can last for the rest of your life.
