The problems you experience because of tooth loss can be difficult to ignore. Unfortunately, they can become increasingly difficult to disregard as time passes, as they can worsen gradually. You may have some issues with your bite that worsen due to the uneven movements you have to use to avoid the space where you have a gap in your smile. You can also grow increasingly self-conscious about your appearance, lose more teeth over time, and even experience the loss of jawbone density! Our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office can help you put this matter behind you. Through the placement of a restoration held to a dental implant, we can give you back your complete smile, and we can provide notable oral health benefits! (more…)
