Fix Missing Teeth with Dental Implants

What’s So Bad About Losing a Tooth?

Is it a big problem to lose a tooth? Believe it or not, yes! Losing even a single tooth can cause your other teeth to shift and move around, which is not good. Missing teeth affect your ability to chew and to absorb nutrients from your food. Because it’s difficult to chew with missing teeth, you may begin favoring softer foods and more carbohydrates, which can cause you to gain weight. Other bad things can happen; your speech can be affected. The gaps in your teeth may cause your face to change shape, creating a "sunken" appearance that can make you look much older than you really are. As soon as a tooth comes out, bone loss begins in the jaw, contributing to that “aged” appearance. Dental implants can replace one tooth or many and are the best way to treat a missing tooth (or missing teeth). Designed to blend with your remaining teeth, they look so natural that even a dentist has to look hard to tell the difference.
