Complete Your Smile, Prevent Bone Loss, and Other Complications with Dental Implants

You probably would like to keep all your teeth because you don’t want to ruin your appearance. However, there is much more to teeth than completing your smile. A full-toothed smile prevents bone loss, maintains your full oral functionality, and makes you feel great about yourself. Unfortunately, injuries and laxity in oral hygiene may lead to tooth loss. But does that mean you have to live the rest of your life with a “gappy” smile? The answer is a resounding no. Dental implants from Star Care Dental in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, designed to “mimic” your natural teeth, can replace your missing teeth for life!

Dental Implants Stop Bone Loss

Like all living tissue, bone tissue has a lifespan. Older bones dissolve and are absorbed into the body to pave the way for new bones. Because of stimuli in the body, new bone tissue can form to replace the old bones. In the jawbone, the renewal of the bones comes from the stimulation of your teeth as you chew and bite.

Unfortunately, in the absence of a tooth, this stimulation dissipates, and over time your jaw bone shrinks. If the situation isn’t rectified, you develop speech problems, and your face sinks in, stealing your youthfulness.

Dental implants can stop the deterioration of your jawbone by stimulating the bone, just like your natural teeth. Ironically, losing too much bone makes you an unsuitable candidate for dental implants. With this in mind, we advise patients to replace their lost teeth as soon as possible. Otherwise, they may need bone grafting to benefit from dental implants.

Other Reasons Why Dental Implants are Loved by Patients and Dentists Alike

Besides stopping bone loss, dental implants are preferred by many because they generate numerous benefits:

• They restore your full oral functionality
• They restore your self-confidence
• They can last for life with proper care
• They are easy to maintain
• The implant treatment process doesn’t interfere with the health of nearby teeth
• They prevent the nearby teeth from shifting into the empty space
