Missing a Tooth? The Best Solution is a Dental Implant
Not just affecting appearance and the ability to chew, missing teeth can lead to other medical and dental problems
GLENDALE, Ariz., Oct 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- "A missing tooth isn't just a cosmetic problem," says Glendale Arizona dentist and educator Dr. Lee Ann Brady. "When a tooth is missing, the surrounding teeth can move into the gap, leading to tooth alignment issues, chewing problems, gum disease, and even TMJ disorders. If you've lost a tooth, dental implants are the best replacement for it."
Dental implants are artificial titanium roots that allow a crown, bridge or denture to be attached securely to the jawbone. They are the next best thing to healthy, natural teeth and allow normal speech and the ability to eat most foods comfortably. Ultimately, they can save patients from future costs, discomfort and frustration.
"Don't wait until you feel pain or experience other problems from a missing tooth, as most dental issues have no symptoms until the problem is severe. Talk to your dentist about your options to replace a missing tooth," advises Dr. Brady.
