Dental implants are the most advanced and effective solution for tooth loss. They do not compromise your natural teeth surrounding the lost tooth and unlike a bridge that can damage surrounding teeth, ceramic dental implants actually promote the health of the rest of your teeth.
Traditionally, the only options you had after tooth extraction were dentures or bridges. These worked alright but never completely replaced the functionality, comfort, and aesthetic of a natural tooth. One of the greatest benefits of implants is that they prevent bone loss through the resorption process, which occurs when the jawbone is no longer stimulated by the natural tooth root’s chewing and biting functions. Jawbone resorption has a serious aesthetic and functional effect, over time weakening the attaching muscles and can cause misalignment to your bite. Misalignment combined with the fact that the surrounding teeth start to shift in order to cover up the gap left by the missing tooth can cause periodontal disease and further tooth loss. It can also leave you with a sunken and aged look in your face.
