Tooth Implants in the Sterling Area: When a Bridge or a Denture Just Isn't Enough

Dental implants can be a more natural-looking and permanent solution to missing or damaged teeth than dentures, which can be difficult for many people to adust to. Sterling area tooth implants dentist Dr. Richard Hughes has the experience and training to help replace missing teeth with permanent tooth implants. Once completed, dental implants look, feel and function just like your natural teeth.

During the dental implant procedure, Dr. Hughes inserts a small metal cylinder into your jaw, which acts like a tooth root, and permanently anchors the artificial tooth in place. Many people in the Sterling area can easily qualify for denture implants. Having jawbone ridges in good shape and healthy oral tissues will allow the dental implant to form a strong permanent bond with your jawbone.

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.
