Missing teeth can cause a number of serious problems, whether you’re 20, 90 or any age in between. You feel self-conscious and embarrassed, so you don’t smile as often. You may experience discomfort or pain when you eat and your otherwise healthy teeth can be negatively affected as well. At Hill Avenue Dental in Superior, WI, Drs. Clark and Clark welcome you to experience a full set of healthy, beautiful teeth with the power of permanent dental implants.
The Many Benefits of Dental Implants
Missing teeth not only directly affect your appearance, but contribute to poor oral health in general. When a tooth is lost, the bone in the jaw that used to support it begins to deteriorate. This can lead to the compromise of structural integrity throughout the jaw, a problem that is often visible in the face. Facial contours begin to sag, making you appear older than you actually are. Missing teeth also directly impact your nutrition, particularly when you are unable to eat the types of foods your body needs to stay healthy.
Fortunately, dental implants take the place of your lost teeth in a way that looks and feels natural, restoring proper dentition and preventing further bone loss. Tiny titanium screws are placed into existing jaw bone, serving as anchors for a crown that looks just like a natural tooth. Your dental implants are custom-tinted to match surrounding teeth so no one will be able to tell the difference. Your quality of life is instantly improved, spanning everything from your self-confidence to your ability to enjoy eating your favorite foods freely.
