Counter the Effects of Missing Teeth with Dental Implants

Tooth loss requires adjustments to your lifestyle, as missing teeth can impact what you can eat, your speech, appearance, oral health, and other aspects of daily life. The sooner you replace missing teeth, the sooner you can return to everyday living. At Hebron Smiles and Smilebliss Orthodontics in Carrollton, Texas, we recommend teeth implants as your restorative treatment for replacing lost teeth. Implants can counter the ill effects of missing teeth and restore your smile to its original beauty.

Impact of Losing Teeth

Your teeth are used daily for biting, chewing, smiling, and speaking. Losing one or more of your teeth can:

• Limit what you can eat due to difficulty chewing
• Cause you to speak with a lisp
• Make you look older than your years due to bone loss that causes your face and jaw to sag
• Cause bite and tooth alignment issues, as the teeth that remain may start to shift to fill the gap left by missing teeth
• Increase your risk of decay and gum disease
• Ruin your smile as tooth loss leaves unsightly gaps in your mouth where teeth used to be

How Implants Can Help

Dental implants permanently solve most, if not all, problems caused by missing teeth. They can replace one tooth, several teeth, or all teeth to meet your restorative dental needs. Implants replace your lost tooth and its roots to stimulate jawbone growth, just like natural teeth. Dental implants are surgically embedded into your jaw to provide a firm foundation for a dental crown, replacing your lost tooth.

Implants make it easier to eat without dietary restrictions. You’ll be able to speak more clearly. By filling the gaps of missing teeth, implants can keep your teeth from shifting to avoid changes in your bite. Your teeth will be easier to clean, reducing your risk of decay or dental disease. You’ll also have a brand-new smile to show off to family and friends.
