Signs You Might Need a Dental Implant
Dental implants can have many benefits for your smile and oral health. Dental implants can give you a fuller smile and protect your surrounding teeth. Custom dental implants are the best option to replace missing teeth. Missing teeth can cause severe damage to a person’s dental health. The chewing ability is disrupted if there are multiple missing teeth. This can lead to significant structural damage. It can also change the appearance of a person’s smile. Implants are not recommended for everyone. To repair your smile and improve your health, visit your dentist.

Sign of Infection
Periodontal disease, injury, or any other cause can lead to an infected tooth. Dental implants may be an option for patients who have severe infections. Consider a dental implant if the infection has damaged the tooth’s integrity so that it is not possible to save. Implants will relieve pain and prevent further infection. Your patient may have an infection that requires a dental implant. This is an excellent time to talk about the dangers of not treating it. Infections can lead to more tooth loss and spread to other parts of the body, causing additional health problems.
Irritation from Dentures
Dentures that don’t fit properly can cause discomfort and pain. Because they function precisely like teeth, dental implants are more secure than dentures. Implants can be used to alleviate the discomfort of dentures that are too loose or ill-fitting. This prevents further irritation of the gums and reduces discomfort. Old dentures or those that are too tight can cause discomfort. Dental implants offer stability and comfort by not moving or rubbing against the gum line. Implants reduce the risk of infection, irritation, and sores.
Jaw Bone Loss
What causes dentures to produce a sunken-in look around the mouth and chin? Dentures don’t stimulate the jawbone to promote regrowth. The jaw doesn’t know you have dentures and the jaw then continues to recede (continuing to lose bone). Dental implants are the solution. Implants will not alter your facial appearance as the jawbone stimulated by dental implants (and chewing) is what causes this stimulation. Implants will feel and look exactly like natural teeth. Implants will look and feel the same as natural teeth, so your smile will be the same.
