Lifelike and stable dental restorations can have many exciting advantages for patients with tooth loss. If you need to do something about a missing tooth, or multiple lost teeth, our Katy, TX dentist’s office can help. Through the use of dental implants, we can provide stability and added bite strength by keeping prosthetic teeth stable. Implants offer more than just better bite support and comfort. When you bite and chew food, you can stimulate your jaw, which restores the movement of nutrients to the bone to protect it from losing density and strength. We can provide treatment to help you regain your smile, and from there we can take care of you to help you prevent future difficulties with your well-being.
Taking On Problems With Tooth Loss
Simply put, there are many problems associated with tooth loss. Some of them can be no surprise even to someone who has their full smile—a visible gap from a lost tooth can be unsightly, and this trouble can also lead to difficulties with reduced bite strength and function. Over time, you can experience worsening issues because of your compromised bite, including problems with TMJ disorder. You can also face the loss of teeth as well as a loss of jawbone density over time when your problem is not treated.
The Role Dental Implants Play In Restoring Full Smiles
Through implant dentistry, we can provide more than just a way to close a gap in your smile. The implant that is put in place will reside in the space where your jawbone previously held your tooth root. After you heal from this placement process, you will have a customized dental crown put in position. Securing your restoration gives you more confidence in your bite and smile. When you use your implant to bite and chew, you can stimulate the surrounding bone tissues, which creates signals that tell your body to move nutrients to the bone and sustain it.
Caring For Your Smile After Prosthetic Treatment
You can keep up with a consistent oral care routine after tooth loss that resembles the kind of care you provided for your complete smile. One thing to keep in mind is that when you visit your dentist, you receive feedback about the condition of your restoration as well as your complete smile. Because of this, you can receive early warnings if there are any problems that might need your attention or further care from your dentist.
