Navigating Tooth Loss At A Younger Age

Navigating Tooth Loss At A Younger Age santa rosa caYour smile is there for you when you wake up, when you sleep, and when you make a first impression. The simple truth is that others do pay attention to the quality of yours, and when you lose a tooth, talking with your oral health team can make a real difference. Leaving a gap alone can lead to a risk of additional tooth loss, so it’s important to learn about your prosthodontic possibilities. And with dental implants, there are ways to navigate tooth loss, even at a younger age.

Here at Santa Rosa Oral Surgery, our team works to help North Bay residents to find their way back to a smile they love. We use advanced scientific techniques to do it, too, including dental implant placement, which uses a threaded titanium post to provide a stable foundation for a prosthetic. Losing one or more of your teeth can be a tough experience no matter your age, but if you are under 40, it can be even harder. Let’s work to change that.

Tooth Loss Happens To People Of All Ages

In order to find a smile solution that works for you, you have to start working on it. That means coming to see an oral health professional about your specific situation so they can give you a personalized opinion. Your provider can also help you to understand why the tooth loss has occurred, too, if you don’t already know. Addressing the cause of your tooth loss can help you to avoid future problems.

Our office is here to help you move beyond tooth loss through effective oral surgery. We’ve got solutions, so reach out to our front desk to start your journey.

Dental Implant Technology Offers A Strong Connection to Bone

For quite some time, ceramicists have been able to create prosthetic teeth that look remarkably realistic. The historical issue has been how to effectively connect them to the rest of a full set. But over the last few decades, one solution has quickly become a preferred option for both patients and providers, and that is a dental implant.

With dental implant technology, an oral surgeon or other qualified healthcare professional places a titanium post within the bone tissue of the jaw. Remarkably, the human body does not fight back; instead, bone tissue grows snugly into the threads. Through osseointegration, bone and metal work together to provide a stable foundation that can handle chewing tough foods.
