Replace Missing Teeth with Dental Implants
Missing teeth can create dental and cosmetic problems. However, some people are reluctant to replace missing teeth. Are you one of them? If that's the case, I'd like to
have a little conversation with you.
"Well, Doc, it's just a back tooth. No one will see it. It's not going to make a difference." The plain truth is that it will make a difference! The loss of just a single tooth can set a
course that can destroy an entire mouth.
"Well, if that's true, tell me more. I certainly don't want to lose the front ones that I smile
with."
Teeth will drift and tip into a space that is created by missing teeth. Just like two gears
of a car that are not properly aligned, one flaw can lead to a host of other problems. Amissing tooth can lead to bite and cosmetic problems down the road - it can even cause
difficulties with chewing or speaking.
"Well, I don't like that. What can I do?"
If it sounds like I've heard this conversation a few times, you're right. If I'm going to keep
a patient happy, I need to provide options at this point. One of the options would be an implant. This is the replacement of a tooth with a false root that is surgically placed. It is then followed by the careful construction of a crown to replace the missing tooth, to prevent teeth from shifting and thereby causing further tooth loss.If you have any questions about missing teeth and possible implant treatment, please visit our website at http://www.BlochDentistry.com.
