No one likes the thought of having missing teeth, but the reality is many people suffer with missing teeth. These missing teeth can leave unsightly gaps in your smile and can cause you to be self-conscious. Missing teeth whilst cute with little kids in adults, it can be a total embarrassment.
Once you experience tooth loss, you will begin to notice that the surrounding teeth might begin to move becoming loose. This is due to the shrinkage of the jawbone because there is not a tooth root to support and stimulate the bone. If tooth replacement is not done, the other teeth can also begin to weaken eventually leading to more teeth loss.
Traditionally, the areas where there are missing teeth have been fixed with bridges, partials and in the case of all the teeth missing, full dentures. However, these types of treatments do not help in preserving the jawbone and often they will need to be replaced or repaired.
The best and long term solution to missing teeth is the dental implant. This could be one or more single tooth implants or an implanted support bridge or denture.
Dental implants are designed to look, feel and function like your natural teeth. The titanium root that is implanted in the bone is biocompatible and decay resistant. This man-made root also stimulates bone growth and provides a stable platform for biting.
Dental implants are permanent and cannot be removed. You will not have to worry about adhesives or issues with the denture slipping around. It is complete denture stabilisation.
