Why you shouldn’t ignore a missing tooth.

Once you lose a tooth, the immediate solution is to replace it, especially if it is a front tooth. But what happens, when you lose a tooth that is not visible when you smile?

The tendency is generally to ignore it. However, any missing tooth can have a negative impact on your quality of life, as well as dental and oral health. When we chew, a healthy tooth strengthens the quality of the bone; similar to how exercise protects against bone loss. Furthermore, when a tooth is missing, healthy teeth tend to shift position towards the gap due to bone loss, affecting how our upper and lower teeth meet.

This may affect how we place pressure on the teeth when chewing, and have an impact on surrounding muscles and joints, resulting in pain and various other symptoms such as headaches or migraines. Hence, each tooth plays an important role in ensuring that teeth in front of and behind it stay in alignment, and maintaining the health of the jaw bone…

Modern dental technology can restore your quality of life with teeth that are strong and that look and feel natural.

Dental implants offer many advantages.

Dental implants are accepted by dental professionals for over 40 years, as a successful and trusted method of tooth replacement used today.

Act like your natural tooth root. You do not feel the difference.

Are made of biocompatible materials. As a result, they are accepted by your body.

Your implant can actually last a lifetime with proper care and good oral hygiene.

Are minimally invasive. Your adjacent healthy teeth are untouched. Because unlike conventional bridges, there is no need to grind down adjacent natural teeth.

Maintain natural bone, and minimize further bone loss due to bone stimulation – one of their most important advantages.

Provide stability and comfort, with no adjustment necessary after placement.
