Missing Something? We’ve Got The Solution!
While dental hygiene has continuously improved over the decades, there are still a large number of Canadians living with missing teeth. Are you one of them? If you are, there is no reason to be ashamed or embarrassed. Tooth loss is common, especially as we advance in age. But it doesn’t have to hold you back from living your best life. We have excellent solutions to replace missing teeth, and we want to highlight one in particular. Please keep reading to learn more.
Why is it important to replace missing teeth?
Each tooth is important to the proper functioning of your mouth. When one is missing, it throws everything out of balance. Not only can missing teeth have implications for your overall nutrition—as you avoid more foods because chewing gets increasingly difficult—but they can also contribute to gum disease, bone loss, and, ultimately, additional tooth loss. In other words, missing one or more teeth negatively affects oral health and physical well-being. The only way to prevent potential complications is to replace missing teeth as quickly as possible. An intact smile that functions properly will give you the best chance for long-term oral health.
Permanent Tooth Replacement
One of our favorite tooth replacement solutions is a Dental Implant. We love implants because:
- They are the only permanent tooth replacement. Once the implant post has been placed, it is there for good. As long as you maintain your oral health, your implant will never need replacing.
- They actively prevent bone loss because they are made to mimic a tooth root and provide the stimulation the jawbone needs to stay healthy.
- They look and feel completely natural. Since implants are surgically placed into the jawbone and finished with a custom prosthetic, they are virtually indistinguishable from your other natural teeth.
- They help patients reclaim their lives. So many of our patients have told us that getting implants changed their lives dramatically. They are now happier and more confident and enjoy smiling again.
If you have missing teeth, dental implants can transform your smile, improve your oral health, and, most importantly, bring joy back to your life. With implants, you will be able to smile with complete confidence, eat all the foods you love without a care, and gain peace of mind knowing that you’ve done something positive for your long-term health.
We would be happy to talk to you more about dental implants and any other tooth replacement options you may be interested in for yourself or a loved one. Please feel free to contact our office located in NW Calgary, near Royal Oak. We look forward to hearing from you.
