When Tooth Loss Affects Your Smile…
Be sure to tell your oral health team about what’s happened. Losing a tooth is a dental situation, as a healthy smile depends on balance to stay safe. Leaving a gap between your teeth can increase the structural strain, putting remaining teeth at risk.
You need to know what caused the tooth loss, too. Your dental provider can identify what’s happened so you can address it before it happens again. When it’s time to talk about advanced prosthodontics through dental implants, though, be sure to meet with an oral surgeon before you make a decision.
Dental Implant Technology Creates A Strong Connection
A prosthetic tooth needs to look right, it needs to function like a normal tooth, and it needs to stay connected to your jaw. For years, ceramicists have been able to create lifelike recreations of teeth, but it’s always been a little tougher finding a way to keep them in place. Chewing create a lot of force, and your smile’s always wet with saliva.
Dental implants take a different approach than traditional options. This technology uses a biomechanical process known as osseointegration to connect prosthetics to jaws. There’s strength there to help you chew your favorite foods again.
