Signs you may need dental implants

Humber Valley Dental is committed to helping you maintain a healthy smile, but we understand tooth loss can still occur. The good news is that dental implants can help you restore your smile, whether you have lost your teeth because of accidents, advanced decay, or disease. 

Are you considering dental implants but are unsure if it’s the right choice? Here are five signs to guide you on whether you need dental implants. 

1. You have one or more missing teeth: Losing even one tooth can affect how you eat, smile, and speak. Don’t live a day longer with a gappy smile. Dental implants provide a predictable, life-like solution for one or multiple missing teeth. From single crowns to full dentures, dental implants offer an excellent solution for restoring any number of missing teeth.
2. You have near-failing teeth. Our Bolton office provides several tooth-saving procedures, including crowns, root canals, and fillings. However, our dental restorations can only do so much for a severely damaged or decayed tooth. In such cases, we prefer removing and replacing the tooth with a predictable dental implant. Dental implants rebuild your smile to help you eat, speak, and smile without holding back. 
3. You have ill-fitting dentures. Dentures are a simple, affordable solution for missing teeth. However, they can become loose over time, not because of their design flaws, but because of natural changes in your mouth. When you lose teeth, your jawbone and gums shrink, which may affect the fit of your dentures. Poorly fitting dentures can cause gum sores and embarrassing slippage. Unlike bridges or dentures, dental implants in Bolton, Ontario, replace an entire tooth alongside its root. The implant system uses a biocompatible titanium fixture to become the root component of your new teeth. This root-level stability ensures your new teeth don’t slip or move when talking or speaking.
4. You have a strong jawbone: Dental implants need adequate bone to anchor securely. Implants could be a good fit for you if your jawbone is strong and dense enough. If you have severe jawbone loss, you can still qualify for dental implants if you’re open to bone grafting.
5. You have changes in your appearance: You can tell someone has lost teeth even before they open their mouth. Prolonged tooth loss causes jawbone degradation, which causes a collapsed, sunken-in appearance. Dental implants can stop this jawbone resorption. They stimulate the jawbone to regenerate to preserve your youthful appearance.

Dental implants in Bolton, Ontario, are more than a tooth replacement. From a stabilized bite to confident smiles, dental implants are like a fresh start in life. For many patients, it feels like having their real teeth again.
