Replacing your missing teeth with dental implants

Have you ever come across someone who’s lost a frontal tooth and noticed how displeasing their smile looks? Losing a beautiful smile is just one of the many disadvantages of missing teeth. It can affect your facial shape, the way you bite and chew food, pronounce words, and most importantly, your self-confidence.

Luckily, you wouldn’t have to live your entire life with a missing tooth as the advancements in the field of dentistry offer various options to get it replaced with a prosthetic. Out of all the available options, dental implants are regarded as the best and most long-lasting tooth replacement solution by dentists from all over the world. Also, they offer high strength, stability, durability, and amazing aesthetic benefits.

What happens when you lose a tooth?

 Apart from the visible changes, getting a tooth extracted and not replacing it with a prosthetic can cost you a lot! Some of the changes you would experience after tooth extraction are:

 Drifting of teeth:The tooth will be removed in its entirety, which is why a gap will be left in the jawbone where the tooth root existed. This can allow the adjoining teeth to drift from their positions, thereby altering the shape of the jaws and the face as a whole.

Excessive wear:Teeth that are right next to the gap left by the missing tooth endure more stress than the others. This can lead to excessive wear and slow setting-in of malocclusion.

Loss of confidence: Imagine going out on a date with a missing tooth, or having to give a presentation at the office in front of your colleagues. Firstly, it can lead to possible embarrassment and secondly, you could feel too conscious of your missing tooth. This would naturally hinder your confidence levels and put you in an uncomfortable situation.
