Tooth Loss Can Be A Sign Of More To Come
When you lose a tooth, it’s time to tell your dentist about it. You see, not only can that gap be tough to explain to friends and coworkers, it can also increase the risk of additional tooth loss. Our teeth just need real structural support to be able to chew tough things, and a healthy smile depends on balance to stay safe.
Our office is here to help when it happens. Schedule an examination so we can identify the cause of your tooth loss to help you address what’s going on. Then, we can have a talk together about your next steps.
Dental Implants Offer A Strong Connection
Ceramicists have been able to craft quality restorations for quite some time. One of the issues has historically been that it’s tough to attach them once a tooth has been lost. But with dental implants, there’s another way forward.
A dental implant is a small, threaded titanium post that an oral health professional places into the bone tissue of the jaw. As you heal around the implant post, it creates a sturdy connection. Implants are becoming a big part of smile success stories!
