Can Replacing a Missing Tooth Improve My Life?

Can Replacing a Missing Tooth Improve My Life?

If you have one or more missing teeth, you are probably self-conscious about it. A smile is one of the first things people notice. At Harris Dental in Phoenix we use dental implants to restore smiles.

The Teeth Surrounding The Missing Tooth

When a gap is left by a missing tooth, the surrounding teeth tend to shift. This can cause the other teeth to become crooked, and new gaps may appear. Teeth that are displaced are more vulnerable to gum disease, tooth decay, and TMJ pain.

Difficulty Biting and Chewing

Missing teeth also affect the way you bite a chew. Teeth should work together as a unit. Properly aligned teeth come together harmoniously when you bite and chew. When a tooth is missing more stress is placed on the others.

Speech Problems

Missing teeth, especially front teeth, can affect the way you speak. It may become hard to pronounce certain words. You may even develop a lisp. These speech problems may cause you to abstain from social situations.

What is the best solution for missing teeth?

A dental implant is a permanent anchor (post) that is inserted into the jawbone at the site of an extracted tooth. In the months after implantation, it integrates with the jawbone. One or more implants can provide a sturdy base for a crown, bridge, or denture.

A dental implant from Harris Dental in Phoenix can restore your smile and improve your life. We’ve placed them in people throughout Queen Creek, Scottsdale, and Mesa. We also offer complete general dentistry. Call to schedule an appointment with us today!
