How much damage can tooth loss cause? Regrettably, quite a bit! Losing prominent visible teeth can devastate your smile, while any form of tooth loss can derail your oral health. Fortunately, you can counter that damage by getting dental implants. Implants from Simply Wellness Dental in Vancouver, British Columbia, can provide total tooth loss relief so you can continue to enjoy all the benefits of having strong, healthy teeth.
Missing teeth leave unsightly gaps in your smile, making your grin appear unhealthy and incomplete. Missing tooth roots can result in loss of jawbone support. Implants remedy both of these aspects of tooth loss by restoring your tooth and its roots. In fact, the implant itself functions like a tooth root. Once it’s implanted in your jaw, it fuses with your bone tissue to become the foundation for your new teeth. The healing process can take several months, after which the Simply Wellness Dental team will secure your restoration to the implant to make your smile whole again.
When replacing individual lost teeth, the team will pair your implant with a dental crown. An implant bridge can replace multiple consecutive missing teeth, and implant dentures can reconstruct your grin after losing all your teeth.
With dentures, there’s always the risk of slipping or shifting when you least expect it, which can cause difficulty with chewing. Implants, on the other hand, are known for their stability. Your implant teeth are secured to implant tooth roots, which are a permanent part of your jaw. Hence, they’ll never come loose. With implants, you can enjoy the simple pleasures of eating, talking, laughing, and smiling again with the confidence of having strong, attractive, stable teeth.
Implants are titanium posts that the Simply Wellness Dental team places inside your jawbone to support your new teeth. Once integrated into your bone system, their strength and durability match that of natural tooth roots, giving your new teeth full functionality for biting and chewing. With proper care, your implants can last a lifetime, making it unnecessary to ever repeat your treatment.
Bone loss is a common side effect of losing natural teeth. There are no tooth roots to stimulate bone growth, so your jaw loses critical support. Implants remedy this problem by replacing your tooth roots. Implants strengthen your jaw and keep your jawbone from deteriorating. They support your remaining teeth to keep them from coming loose and shifting out of alignment. Implants also preserve your bite to facilitate biting and chewing.
Implant teeth look, act, and feel more like natural teeth than any other restoration due to their durability, stability, and natural-looking appearance. A strong, healthy, beautiful smile is the ultimate advantage of replacing teeth with implants.
