Periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss, and when you lose teeth, this can weaken your smile and lead to major complications. But we can help with implant dentistry, which not only fills the gap, but keeps your jawbone and facial structure intact. In today’s blog, Brooklyn Periodontics and Implantology talks about strengthening your smile with dental implants.
The Impact of Missing Teeth
How does losing natural teeth harm your smile? The gaps in your smile could make you feel self-conscious and impact your ability to interact socially, which is a major problem for your overall quality of life. But when you lose tooth roots, the jawbone itself will weaken and erode, which can lead to additional missing teeth and an older appearance. You could also have issues with meal options or even the ability to speak clearly. But to restore function, health, and beauty to your smile, and maintain these for years or even decades to come, we could replace missing teeth with dental implants, which strengthens your jaw in the process.
Placing Your Dental Implants
When you lose your natural teeth the jawbone in turn loses mass and density, which can cause it to weaken and erode, and as we mentioned above, lead to further tooth loss and an older appearance. But with dental implants, we will insert one or more biocompatible posts into the jawbone. Made from titanium, these bond with the jaw and remain in place for years to come. At the same time, the body sees these as natural roots and the flow of nutrients to the jaw resumes to keep your smile intact. We will plan and guide the placement with advanced digital imaging technology.
Strengthening Your Smile
Following your tooth replacement, we can use periodontic care to help keep your gums strong and free of disease, or we can manage periodontal disease, so you avoid tooth loss and implant failure. Our team can also check in with your smile during periodic visits to make sure your implants remain strong and sturdy, so you can smile with confidence for years to come.
If you have any questions about how we help replace a missing tooth with dental implants, or how we secure a full smile with All-On-Four in only one visit, then contact our team today to learn more and get started. We want to help you enjoy good gum health and a full smile again, and that starts with implant dentistry!
