WHY IMPLANTS
Hello Readers,
Let's talk about your missing teeth. Here are is a fact about periodontal disease. If you have periodontal disease and you don't address it than you have potential to have bone loss. Bone loss in your jaw will usually (in the time) follow with the loss of a tooth. Dental Implants can help you avoid:
1. Facial changes
2. Speech changes
3. Diet changes
All of these changes over time can happen if you don't replace the lost tooth. This is because over time as teeth shift, your jawbone recedes and in extreme cases your cheeks take on a collapsed look. Dental Implants can replace those lost teeth and fill the void in your tooth arch therefore helping prevent the above possibilities.
Here are my top 10 reasons for Implants.
1. Implants require only normal brushing and flossing for maintenance.
2. Implants are anchored permanently in your jawbone.
3. Implants preserve and strengthen the underlying bone just like the roots of your natural teeth.
4. Implants do not alter or comprise adjacent healthy teeth.
5. Implants require no plates that can affect comfort or fit.
6. Implants can replace the form and function of only one tooth or two, or can replace the teeth in your entire upper and/or lower jaw.
7. Implants can anchor dentures to prevent shifting, or replace partial dentures & bridgework.
8. Implants have no age barrier.
9. Implants are safe & reliable.
10. Implants look completely natural so that no one will ever know you have them.
Implants are placed many times by an Oral Surgeon or Periodontal Specialist and restored by your general dentist.
