When a tooth is lost, there is a space that must be replaced and, the most convenient thing is to put a Dental Implant. With a dental implant serious problems with the bone, bite, and other teeth can be prevented.
Bone problems
The alveolar bone, that is, the bone that surrounds the tooth, fulfills a primary function: to hold the root of the tooth.
When a tooth is lost, the bone in the area stops receiving the normal stimulus that is usually chewed and, therefore, loses its function. This lack of stimulus causes the bone to begin to be reabsorbed and finally lost.
Movements of the other teeth
When the tooth is lost a space remains that generates the movement and angulation of the neighboring teeth. Opposing tooth tends to extrude, that is to say that it is going away.
Bite problems
With the unwanted movement of the teeth there are also problems in the bite. Teeth will lose their correct location and occlusion will be affected (closure) appropriate when biting or closing the mouth.
Bad occlusion can cause severe jaw problems, pain, and tooth wear. It is possible that this incorrect occlusion over time generates loss of other teeth
Why is a dental implant treatment convenient?
The dental implant is a titanium screw that sIt is placed in the bone to replace the root of the lost tooth. By doing so, the bone in the area does not lose its function and is not reabsorbed.
Compared to any other restoration treatment for missing teeth, a dental implant provides a more durable, fixed and aesthetic solution. By being fixed directly to the bone, it is very resistant, like a natural tooth.
Additionally, with a dental implant no need to carve, grind or damage neighboring teeth.
