Solutions for Missing Teeth: The Benefits of Dental Implants
Losing a tooth used to leave limited options for replacement, in the past, people would often have to resort to uncomfortable and impractical options such as dentures or bridges. While permanent teeth ideally provide lifelong function, accidents, deep cavities, or gum disease may cause loss, luckily, modern dentistry has provided a range of solutions for missing teeth, including dental implants.
A single missing tooth can disrupt the complex function of chewing, the first step in digestion, and lead to wear and cracking from excessive forces, as teeth migrate into extra spaces. Dental implants are made up of a titanium post placed directly into the jawbone and topped with a realistic-looking crown, mimicking the natural tooth. Timely tooth replacement in Buda is essential for jawbone health because replacing a missing tooth with an implant helps prevent bone loss by stimulating the jawbone, maintaining its structure, and avoiding further complications.
