Novi, Michigan
As we age, certain parts of our bodies weaken due to the wear and tear of that thing we call life. Over time our teeth are known to get weaker. When it comes to seniors, there is a higher chance of tooth loss, though anyone can lose a tooth at any point in their lifetime due to various conditions including:
- Tooth decay
- Congenital defects
- Failed root canal
- Periodontitis (gum disease)
- Injury
- Wear and tear
But, no matter the age, people want to have a beautiful smile, and a smile that is missing a tooth, much less multiple teeth, most definitely isn’t what most would consider to be stellar. Usually those who are missing teeth are too scared and embarrassed to smile. However, it’s also important to remember that missing teeth can also cause other oral problems such as bone loss in the jaw and bite irregularities which can cause lots of other problems like TMJ.
Simply put, dental implants are artificial tooth replacements. If you’ve lost an adult tooth at some point in your life, you know how unsightly the gap between the teeth can be. With dental implants, you can easily have a great smile again. Dental implants have also proven to be much more reliable than other tooth replacement methods such as dentures and dental bridges.
