The development of dental implants is one of the most significant innovations in dental medicine. Loose and uncomfortable dentures can now be replaced with something that is permanent and feels like part of you. More than just for the aesthetics of your smile, replacing missing teeth is important for your long-term oral health. In addition to holding your tooth in place, a tooth root also preserves the health and integrity of your jawbone and without it, the bone can begin to reduce in density. Teeth on either side of the space can move and become crooked affecting your bite pattern. |
