A person’s smile can certainly be changed by tooth loss, but people who have suffered this problem can be surprised at how much their dental function is impacted. Ideally, you can put little thought into the actions of biting and chewing. When you lose even one tooth, you can find yourself consciously avoiding putting pressure on a particular tooth, which can lead to issues with wear and tear for a certain area of your smile. It can also lead to stress that aggravates your jaw joints and muscles, leading to TMJ dysfunction. If you want to regain a better bite function, our Sheridan, WY dental office can talk to you about securing a dental prosthetic with a dental implant. (more…)
