When you suffer from tooth loss, this could lead to a weakened jaw and long-term problems with your oral health, appearance, and even the function of your bite. To replace what has been lost, we can provide dental implants. In today’s blog, Dental Impressions in Ankeny, IA, talks about how we complete your smile with implant dentistry.
The Loss of Your Teeth
We could suffer from tooth loss due to injuries to the face or jaw. An untreated cavity or infection could lead to tooth loss or the need for an extraction. The most common factor behind adult tooth loss is periodontitis, the late stage of gum disease that destroys connective tissues between the teeth and gums. When we lose teeth, this impacts how we eat, how clearly we speak, and even our overall appearance. The jawbone itself could weaken without tooth roots, which causes an aged appearance too. But we can help prevent these complications with dental implants!
Dental Implants
Dental implants are inserted into the jaw, where they act as new roots and stimulate jawbone growth. Which means the smile stays intact and your new teeth can remain in place for decades to come, possibly a lifetime. Our team will plan and guide the process with advanced digital imaging technology, and complete the new teeth with restoration or possibly prosthetics to ensure the final results look natural and restore function to your bite again. We can take on an individual missing tooth or even support a full set of dentures.
Helping Them Last
We want to make sure your new teeth have the chance to look and function like natural teeth, lasting years to come. We can manage underlying issues like periodontal disease with routine visits and better homecare actions. You can also protect your smile from disease with routine cleanings every few months and better brushing and flossing habits, try to avoid too much sugar in your diet, and tobacco products too! These actions help protect your natural teeth, and ensure your new ones have the chance to last decades or even a lifetime.
