At Newman Springs Dental Care, we offer dental implants to regain oral function and strong bites in patients with loose, missing, or compromised teeth. It is essential to replace a missing tooth, for a lost tooth leaves behind an empty socket. For a variety of reasons, many people choose to simply allow the socket to heal, but here are some reasons it’s important to replace missing teeth. Prevent Bone Loss When a tooth falls out, the jaw’s bone tissue is absorbed by the body, leading to a shrinking of the jaw, which can be detrimental to your appearance and health! Maintain a Streamlined Bite If you have gaps in your smile, your teeth will slowly shift to fill in those spaces, altering the alignment of your smile. Prevent Tooth Overgrowth When teeth are missing, the teeth above or below may grow longer in an attempt to fill in gaps, which significantly affects your bite and comfort. Maintain Aesthetics Gaps in your smile are not necessarily appealing! When implants replace missing teeth, you’ll have a brighter, more uniform smile! Maintain Oral Function Our teeth do more than look great in photos — they help us to chew and speak! Replacing missing teeth is essential to make your bite as strong as it once was! In November, Dr. Menon is obtaining her fellowship in both the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI) and the American Academy of Implant Prosthodontics (AAIP). She has also completed multiple dental implant trainings in Nicaragua! If you are interested in dental implants or getting your oral function back, we have options and solutions for you!
