NO REGRETS FOR MISSING TEETH
Dental Implants have evolved over the years as one of the most successful choices for replacing missing teeth. Whether it is a single tooth that you lost during an accident or a set of teeth that needed to be removed, dental implants can replace your missing teeth in the most natural way. Implants can function efficiently for a lifetime with regular care. Our dentist at Sunshine Dental can create dental implants with high precision that fits your smile perfectly.
What are Dental Implants?
Made of titanium, dental implants are carefully placed in the jawbone where they act as an artificial tooth root. Eventually, the bone will grow around the implant giving it strength like a natural root. To complete the implant, a dental crown – designed to blend in with your natural teeth – is placed on top of the implant, and secured in place. Unlike dentures, dental implants do not shift or move. Dental implants are a great remedy to replace one or more missing teeth.
Why Dental Implants?
One can face the problem of missing teeth at any point in life. Tooth loss can be due to trauma, accident, severe gum disease, tooth decay or even due to poor oral hygiene. If left untreated missing teeth can lead to various consequences such as:
- Speech problems resulting from the gap created by one or more missing teeth
- Difficulty in chewing
- Face may start look older and wrinkled with sunken cheeks as missing teeth can cause sagging of muscles which can’t support lips & cheeks
- Pain in the facial muscles of the jaw resulting in an improper bite induced by the missing teeth
- Tooth decay and gum disease, over time, due to plaque accumulation & food entrapment in the gap caused by the missing teeth
- Improper bite resulting from a tilt of adjacent teeth into the empty spaces caused by a missing tooth
- Untreated missing teeth may dent the facial appearance causing low set-esteem or lack of confidence
- Hiding smile during conversations or at public gatherings to avoid the embarrassment caused by a bad smile from missing teeth
Dental Implants help to overcome all the above-mentioned problems. They are no doubt the best, and most popular solution for the replacement of missing teeth. Dental implants are fit for every individual having missing teeth irrespective of their age and gender.
