Losing even a single tooth can be upsetting and you will probably want to replace it as soon as possible, so why opt for a dental implant? Even though treatment can take longer to complete, the results can be well worth the additional effort and should last a very long time.
Why Are Dental Implants the Healthy Way to Replace a Missing Tooth?
When you lose a tooth, the bone that used to surround the tooth root will soon begin to reabsorb, destabilising the adjacent teeth. A dental implant will preserve your jawbone by acting like a natural tooth root and this has a stabilising effect on your remaining natural teeth. In fact, a dental implant will only have a positive effect on your natural teeth as there is no need for your dentist to cut down healthy teeth to support a bridge. Your dental implant will also provide highly aesthetic results and it should be difficult for anyone to tell that it isn’t your natural tooth.
Warning: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified practitioner.
Why Use Dental Implants To Replace Multiple Teeth?
Dental implants can be very useful for replacing multiple teeth as they can support large or even full-arch bridges, or will hold a denture firmly in place. It is not necessary to use a dental implant to replace every missing tooth and in fact, quite large restorations can be supported with relatively few dental implants so treatment can be quite economical, particularly in the longer term.
Are There Any Additional Benefits to Having Multiple Dental Implants?
Your new bridge or denture will support your cheeks and lips correctly, restoring your facial features to its proper dimensions. If you have struggled with loose and ill-fitting dentures, you could find your new teeth help create a more youthful appearance. You should find it easier to eat a wider variety of foods which may help improve overall nutrition.
