If you have lost your natural teeth, you have a real risk for serious complications, including an aged appearance. But we can help with dental implants, which look and function like natural teeth! In today’s blog, Brooklyn Periodontics and Implantology talks about the causes of tooth loss and how we help patients in Brooklyn, NY enjoy a complete smile with dental implants.
The Causes of Tooth Loss
Why do we lose our teeth in our adult years? For some, this could be due to a severe case of decay or infection. Your tooth could be lost, or we may need to extract it to prevent the infection from spreading. A tooth could be lost due to an injury or accident as well. The most common cause is periodontal disease. When the disease remains untreated and reaches a stage known as periodontitis, this could lead to tooth loss. You need to seek treatment because otherwise, your smile could suffer major complications due to missing teeth!
The Impact on Your Smile
When you lose a tooth, this could leave an open gap in your smile that causes embarrassment. In addition, your nearby teeth may begin to shift due to the gap, which leads to misalignment. Without the tooth root, the area also weakens, which can lead to further tooth loss. After enough time, your worsening tooth loss could mean an aged appearance! But we can help prevent these issues, allowing you to smile with confidence and enjoy your favorite foods, and also enjoy your youthful facial features. Our team can preserve your smile with dental implants!
Dental Implants
Dental implants are small biocompatible titanium posts that look like tiny screws. When inserted into the jaw, these act like new roots and support a new tooth. Our team can place one to address a single missing tooth, completing it with a lifelike crown. If you have more severe cases of tooth loss, then one or two dental implants could support a bridge. We could also secure a complete set of dentures in one visit with All-On-Four, so you obtain a complete smile in one sitting!
If you have one or more missing teeth, don’t live with these severe complications, talk to our team about possible solutions. With dental implants, we can replace what has been lost and offer a more attractive appearance too, with results that can truly last! If you have any questions about implant dentistry, then contact our team today to learn more and get started.
