Smiling is a big part of life – it can help you to feel better and even raise another person’s spirits. Unfortunately, many people choose to hide their smiles because they are embarrassed by the state of their teeth. The good news is that a visit with a knowledgeable dentist in Chandler, AZ, can help to identify treatment options that may help with damaged or missing teeth. In the case of multiple missing teeth, All-On-4® dental implants may be a great solution.
The Hazards of Missing Teeth
It is important to treat missing teeth quickly because leaving gaps in the mouth can lead to more serious problems. For example, the roots of each tooth help to support the jawbone and gums. When a tooth falls out, the support is no longer there, and the jawbone can start to deteriorate. Deterioration can eventually lead to more teeth falling out, in addition to making it more difficult to eat food and speak.
The Implant Solution
Implants offer a solution for missing teeth. A titanium post is embedded into the jawbone, which acts as the tooth roots and helps to support the jaw. In addition, the post is capped with a natural-looking tooth that functions just like a real one. Basically, implants can help restore the full function of your mouth after losing one or more teeth.
