Replace Multiple Missing Teeth with Dental Implants

Tooth loss affects several aspects of a person’s life. The most obvious effect of missing teeth problems can be seen in the appearance of the smile. After several teeth go missing, the area surrounding the lips will instantly take on a shrunken look. The tooth loss problem is made even more pronounced when the mouth is opened to smile or speak; the gaping spaces will result in a smile that looks totally unattractive and unhealthy. As tooth loss is closely associated with older individuals, people with multiple or all teeth missing are often assumed to be much older than their actual age.

Aside from problems with the appearance, the function of the smile – or the remaining teeth, if any – is greatly affected by missing teeth issues as well. A person who suffers from multiple tooth loss will find it quite difficult to speak clearly when several teeth are missing from the front part of the mouth. Meal times also become challenging moments for those with missing teeth, who may often experience pain when chewing or biting on food.

Dental implants are ideal solutions for missing teeth problems, regardless of the number of teeth involved. The titanium implants can be used to replace a single missing tooth, several missing teeth, and can even solve problems with total tooth loss. The implants form a stable anchor as they are placed directly into the jawbone, and will then be attached to teeth replacements such as a dental bridge, or dental crowns. Unlike removable dentures that have a tendency to become loose over time, dental implants and their corresponding teeth replacements stay firmly in place.

Implants will not move uncontrollably inside the mouth, unlike loose dentures that can cause pain and embarrassment. Those with multiple teeth missing can once again enjoy a beautiful smile with dental implants, which will work on making the smile healthy-looking and complete. As the implants are firmly attached to the jawbone, there will be no embarrassing episodes of the smile slipping off in the most unexpected manner. Implants can bring about a self-confidence boost to a person who once suffered from missing teeth problems. In addition, speech will be improved; as the teeth gaps are closed, clear pronunciation will once again be made with ease. An implant treatment will make meal times more enjoyable once more, as the teeth restorations and implants take on the role of chewing and biting on food in a more normal and comfortable manner.
