Wondering what dental implants can do for your smile after tooth loss?

While some people still haven’t heard of dental implants, the truth is, dental implants have been around since the mid-60s! Today, dental implants have become a popular way for our Frederick, MD, dentists, Dr. Dave Verma and Dr. Arpana Verma, to replace one or more missing teeth. If you are a healthy individual who is dealing with tooth loss, dental implants may be able to help. Here are just some of the benefits of getting this dental restoration:

Preserve Your Bone Health

A common complication of untreated tooth loss is bone loss. Since the missing tooth roots aren’t providing stimulation to the jawbone, this leads to bone loss over time. This problem will continue to happen unless a dental implant is used to replace the missing tooth roots. By getting an implant not long after tooth loss, you can preserve the jawbone’s natural structure and prevent subsequent bone loss.

Prevent Premature Aging

Another unfortunate complication of tooth loss is changes to the facial structure. As the jawbone begins to deteriorate, a collapsing bite can affect the overall shape of your face. The cheeks begin to sink inward, and skin also begins to sag and wrinkle since the teeth that support the face are no longer present.

 Fortunately, by getting dental implants from our Frederick, MD, dental team we can support the bite and recreate function.

Restore Chewing and Speaking

When you lose one or more teeth you may find it more difficult to chew certain foods properly. You may even notice that you’ve developed a speech impediment such as a lisp as a result of your tooth loss. You’ll be happy to hear that dental implants can restore function back into your smile; improving your speech and making it easier to enjoy all of your favorite foods.
