Ashburn area tooth implants dentist Dr. Richard Hughes is your resource for information about dental implants and how they can improve your life. If you're missing one or more teeth, he can surgically implant a device into your jaw, providing a more permanent solution than dentures can ever offer.

After the initial metal implant surgery has healed, you'll return to E Richard Hughes DDS's office to have a new porcelain crown fitted onto the metal anchor. You'll be ready to smile all you want!

THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT TOOTH LOSS AND WEARING DENTURES!

The following are consequences due to the loss of teeth and wearing dentures: a. Loss of jaw bone height, width and density. b. The loss of attached (tight) gum tissue on the jaws. c. Gum tissue is prone to abrasions. d. Decreased blood and oxygen flow through the jaw bones. e. The tongue becomes larger to accommodate the increase in space formerly occupied by the teeth and bone, making the lower denture unstable. f. The muscle attachments to the jaw shift. The facial tissues sag, protrouding "jowls" or a "witch's chin" and the face is sunk in. g. 75% loss in chewing force or strength. Loss of a coordinated manner of chewing (loss of muscle control). Thus, poor nutrition which leads to poor overall health and a shorter life span. h. Decreased facial height, thinning of the lips and deepening of the natural lines of the face. Females apply lipstick to the skin to make the lips look fuller. Protrouding lower jaw and a reverse smile line. Therefore, an appearance of ageing beyond ones actual years. i. Increased possibility of nerve irritation with denture wear and time. j. Denture wearers on the average, live 5 years less than those with teeth. k. Deafness and jaw joint pain due to the loss of facial height. l. Choking on food. Which is still a major cause of death in the U.S.A.
