In the US, more than 35 million Americans have no natural teeth while 178 million people have lost at least one tooth and these figures are expected to grow in the coming years. While teeth loose may be incredibly common, it can still be extremely upsetting to even lose a single tooth. Teeth loose can occur as a result of decay or gum disease or it may be due to injury, or is just down to simple wear and tear. Whatever the reason it’s important to think about how to replace even a single missing tooth. This is because the consequences of teeth loose can be significant.
Teeth loose makes it much harder to eat properly. It can be near impossible to bite or chew favorite foods, increasing the risk of having a nutritionally deficient diet. If you don’t receive enough nutrients, this can negatively affect general health, making it harder for the body to fight infection and for it to heal itself. Some people who have lost teeth will avoid going out for socializing with others, particularly if it involves meal times. Teeth loose can significantly affect self-confidence and self-esteem, as after all a smile is an important form of communication. So what is the solution?
Dental implants are enormously versatile and are excellent for replacing single teeth, or you can choose to replace multiple teeth or even complete upper or lower arches of teeth. They are the most advanced solution for teeth loose and although they may cost slightly more in the beginning, they can be an excellent longer-term method of tooth replacement. Many people have already benefited from dental implants and you’d never know they’d lost teeth.
If you think you might be interested in finding out more about dental implants then it’s a good idea to contact a dentist who is highly experienced in placing them. Dr. Navid Rahmani at Manhattan Periodontics & Implant Surgery is a periodontist who routinely places dental implants.
It is best to book an appointment with Dr. Rahmani if you are faced with teeth loose and require a tooth to be extracted. This is because Dr. Rahmani uses a technique called an atraumatic extraction which can be perfect if you are preparing to have dental implants. An atraumatic extraction helps preserve as much of the surrounding bone as possible, and it may even be possible to place the dental implant at the same time as the extraction. Every case is different and the best way to find out for sure is to have a proper consultation and a chat with Dr. Rahmani.
The great thing about dental implants is that most people can benefit from this technology and it will be very rare for a patient to be unable to have this procedure. It’s an excellent way to restore a smile whether you’re missing just one tooth or every single tooth in your head.
