When To Consider Dental ImplantAre you tired of dealing with the slippage that comes with artificial teeth? Or maybe you find it challenging to smile in public because of a missing tooth? A dental implant might be a solution to your dental issues. It offers a strong foundation for replacing missing teeth. If you are looking for a long-term solution to restore the function of lost teeth, dental implants are a good option.

They help to improve the quality of life, enabling you to speak properly and regain your self-confidence. Are you wondering whether to consider dental implants as a tooth replacement option? In this article, you'll learn about some situations that may require dental implants.

Missing One or More Teeth


Missing one or two of your natural teeth can be frustrating. Eating and pronouncing certain words might be difficult when you have missing teeth. You can also feel self-conscious about your smile. In this case, taking a step towards replacing the missing teeth is vital in improving the quality of your life.

Dental implants are prosthetic teeth that look and feel like your natural teeth. You won't have to worry about the implant looking out of place compared to the other teeth. Whether tooth loss results from gum diseases, tooth decay, or injury, dental implants can help to restore your smile.

Severely Damaged Tooth


In cases where a damaged tooth cannot be saved, the dentist may suggest extraction. If this happens, you may need to replace the tooth with a dental implant to restore your smile and the proper functioning of your teeth. The good thing about dental implants is that they prevent jaw bone deterioration.

Staying for an extended period with a missing tooth can lead to bone loss.

Unlike other dental restoration approaches that sit on the gum, dental implants are inserted into the gums. This stimulates the bone tissues, thus preventing deterioration. If a missing tooth affects the quality of your life, our professional will help you get the best tooth replacement option.
