Yes, it\u2019s true and that\u2019s not an exaggeration. We\u2019ve treated patients with missing teeth right here at Bradford Young and seen what difference dental implants<\/a> in Allentown can make in a person\u2019s life.\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Consequences of Missing Teeth<\/h2>\r\nWhen you consider the consequences of having one or more missing teeth, then the overwhelming advantages of dental implants seem less surprising. First, of course, are the emotional and psychological side effects. You may only have one tooth missing, but you know people aren\u2019t looking at all of your remaining teeth\u2014they\u2019re looking at the hole in your smile whenever you open your mouth. That can be devastating to some people, and may even be a huge obstacle in social as well as professional circumstances.\r\n\r\nThen there are the nutritional considerations. Obviously, your teeth are critical to maintaining a healthy diet that includes a variety of nutritious foods. However, even one missing tooth can force you to eliminate some foods, in particular fresh fruits and vegetables. Finally, as if having a missing tooth weren\u2019t bad enough, this can also lead to other oral health problems, such as gum disease, drifting teeth and eventually an uneven bite. All in all, it\u2019s not hard to see why tooth loss can make a person unhappy.\r\n

Get Happy with Dental Implants<\/h2>\r\nDental implants are probably the closest any tooth restoration can come to looking and functioning like a natural tooth. The reason is that a dental implant takes the place of an entire tooth\u2014both the root and the crown. Other replacements (dentures, partials, and bridges) merely rest over your gum tissue. As such, they may do a good job of recreating the look of your natural teeth, but they fall short of replicating the structure.\r\n\r\nThis structural advantage is what gives dental implants the edge over other tooth replacement options. Implants are surgically set in your jawbone. Made of the biocompatible metal titanium, these implanted posts fuse with surrounding bone tissue in order to establish a firm foundation for your eventual tooth restoration\u2014a porcelain crown for one missing tooth or an implant-retained denture or partial for several or an entire arch of missing teeth. And just like a tooth root, the implant stimulates healthy new bone growth, so you\u2019re less likely to have that sagging facial appearance that commonly happens with extended tooth loss. That is certainly something to be happy about!\r\n
