Restore Full Chewing Function With Dental Implants

 

Implants like natural teeth, as well. The minute you take a tooth out, every year from that point on the bone starts to shrink. Have you ever seen somebody when they break their arm, they put them in a cast for a long time? When the get the cast off they have a scraggly little arm and they gotta build that back up and maybe do some physical therapy. The same thing happens in the mouth. The minute you remove that tooth and you don’t have any pressure stimulating to tell the bone to wake up, that bone shrinks every year. The longer you go without teeth, the less bone you have available for implants and also the less bone you have available to hold a traditional denture.

When people have traditional dentures, implants are a good choice to anchor their dentures in so that they can keep their bone. Sometimes it’s gonna be a better long-term solution to use implants. Over the long-term it’s less of a financial burden for the patient. Over a lifetime, patients can spend thousands of dollars in their mouth. In this day of implants, we can say, “Don’t spend the money to do a root canal, a crown, and all kinds of things on a tooth that maybe might last you two years. Maybe it’s better that we take that tooth out and put an implant in and you can have it for years to come ’til you’re done on this earth, basically, as long as you take care of it like everything else.”

We do what we call “oral cancer screenings” when you have implants, and for everybody else, too, but we just wanna make sure that any problems that might show up in the mouth, not just the teeth, are being watched and taken care of. Implants are a good way to be able to get the most natural-like teeth that you can that stay in and to help preserve the bone that you have in your jaw.
