Tooth loss isn’t an age-related issue, but after experiencing it, your smile can begin to age much more rapidly. That’s due to the many different negative effects of tooth loss, which only grow worse the longer you neglect to replace the lost tooth/teeth. For patients in Santa Rosa, CA, dental implants offer the most successful way to make their smiles new again by replacing more of their natural tooth structure than other prostheses can.
