Dental Implants for Smile Gaps

Tooth loss results in a number of changes in the appearance and function of a smile. Even the loss of one or a few teeth can have a significant impact on how the smile appears. Depending on the location of the missing teeth, the way a person speaks will also be affected; tooth loss can result to a lisp and difficulties in clear speech. Chewing on food becomes challenging and uncomfortable, especially when the gums take on the role of the teeth in breaking up or chewing on food pieces. The gaps that are formed when tooth loss occurs should be addressed in the soonest possible time to prevent complications that can bring even more problems, and also to avoid prolonging the discomfort brought by the missing teeth.

Dental implants make an ideal solution for missing teeth
Dental implants are ideal solutions for missing teeth, and they can effectively close the unsightly gaps that result from tooth loss. The implants are titanium tooth roots that are placed into the jawbone, where they will take on the responsibility of lost tooth roots and continue to stimulate the bone to prevent atrophy and jawbone thinning. The implants will form a secure anchor where teeth replacements (such as dental crowns or a dental bridge) can be attached to, completing the smile and closing the gaps caused by missing teeth. A single lost tooth can be solved with one dental implant attached to a dental crown to restore the form and function of the smile. Multiple tooth loss, on the other hand, can be solved with one dental implant and a dental bridge. If all teeth are lost in an arch (the upper or lower, or both), a few strategically placed dental implants are placed to the jawbone and connected to a fixed dental bridge to solve the missing teeth problem.

The implant treatment
An implant treatment brings back the naturally healthy appearance of a smile. The gaps caused by tooth loss are closed, making the smile attractive once more. This restoration of the smile’s healthy appearance will in turn boost the confidence, with the knowledge that one does not need to hide his or her toothless smiles anymore. Speaking becomes normal and much clearer to understand when the smile gaps are solved with dental implants. Mealtimes become more enjoyable moments after the tooth loss problem is solved with implants; the artificial teeth (attached to dental implants) take on the role of properly biting and chewing on food, so that the gums will not have to take on this responsibility.
