If you have missing teeth, you know how
difficult it can be to talk or eat, but missing teeth can also cause problems
with your facial structure, and that is where Dental Implant Restoration from
Dr. Romo, your Hispanic Dentist in Chicago comes in.
Despite the vast improvements when it comes
to dental care, millions of people across the United States deal with tooth
loss. The majority of tooth loss occurs because of poor oral hygiene that leads
to gum disease and tooth decay. Injury is another reason for tooth loss. Up
until now, the only options for missing teeth were dentures or Fixed Bridges,
but not anymore.
Dental Implants are quickly becoming the
favorite when it comes to missing teeth. Twenty years ago, Fixed Bridges and Dentures were
the popular choice, but thanks to modern 21st century dental
technology, Dental Implants are safer and in the long run more affordable than
Fixed Bridges.
Unfortunately Fixed Bridges, unless kept
exceptionally clean, can become a magnet for tooth decay. If you do not brush
or floss carefully underneath a Fixed Bridge, tooth decay will begin to form.
If this happens and gum disease sets in, you may have to deal with bone and
tooth loss.
Ask your Dentist about Dental Implants.
Dental Implants are much more comfortable than dentures and are just as strong
as your natural teeth.
According to Web MD, Dental Implants are
metal posts that are surgically placed in the jawbone by an oral surgeon or
periodontist. Once the posts are placed, your dentist will give the bone that
surrounds the implant time to heal. Once healing is complete, a replacement
tooth will be attached to the Dental Implant Post.
Although Dental Implants are more expensive
in the beginning, they far outweigh Fixed Bridges and Dentures in the long run
offering superior benefits. Dental Implants are actually as strong, if not
stronger than your natural teeth and can last for 20 years or longer.
