The primary reason people start to look so much older when they lose their teeth is bone loss. Natural teeth stimulate the bone in the jaw, keeping it dense and healthy. When the teeth are lost, bone immediately starts to atrophy. As it melts away, it causes a variety of problems. Dental implants are the ideal solution to prevent facial collapse. The implant stimulates the jaw much like the original tooth did, keeping the jawbone healthy and whole. When implants aren't possible, it's vital that dentures fit well so they can do their part in preventing bone loss.
Great oral health means more than regular cleanings and the occasional filling. Many patients who've dealt with injury, illness, bite problems, and simple wear can have recurrent issues that they don't recognize began in their mouth. Bruxism (tooth grinding); TMJ; periodontitis; and/or crooked, misshapen, or missing teeth can combine to cause headaches and migraines, shoulder and neck strain, toothaches, chronic bad breath, and a generally unattractive appearance. But you don't have to accept this situation. Our doctors will sit down with you to discuss your concerns, symptoms, and goals and to take digital X-rays, photos, and 3-D cone beam CT scans. Then they will present treatment options to address your problems and help you achieve a healthy, pain-free, and amazing smile. We can also discuss phased treatment and financial planning that will put your dream smile within reach.
