A missing tooth is more than just an aesthetic concern.
A missing tooth can disrupt the intricate balance of your oral health. Beyond appearance, a tooth serves critical function, such as providing a chewing surface, maintaining proper alignment with neighbouring teeth, preserving bone structure in the area of the missing tooth, and preventing oral health issues like decay and periodontal disease.
Without a tooth in place, surrounding teeth can shift causing gaps and alignment issues, making decay more likelyand increasing the chances of bone loss and damage. Failure to address a missing tooth can lead to various complications, including tooth shifting, increased risk of decay, bone deterioration, and periodontal problems.
To prevent bone loss and maintain optimal dental heath, consider the necessity of dental implants. Maintaining the correct spacing of your teeth is essential to avoid complications associated with a missing tooth. An implant servces as a low-maintenance way to seamlessly replace any missing teeth effectively, restoring both function and aesthetics.Explore the option of dental implants at our Hamilton dental office today to safeguard your oral well-being and prevent further issues.
A cosmetic dental implant is a small prosthetic post that is placed into the bone of the upper or lower jaw. The post functions as the root portion of the lost natural tooth and serves as an anchor for the replacement tooth. Once the post has settled, an artificial tooth is attached to fill the space that was once your missing tooth.
A dental implant can give you back confidence in your smile, allow you to eat comfortably and offer you a clean, healthy oral environment.
Dental implants look and feel exactly like natural teeth, no one other than you and your dentist will be able to tell the difference.
