I’ve lost all my teeth
If you are suffering from a mouthful of failing or missing teeth, dental implants in Richmond could be a good choice. If you want to restore your smile to its former glory, without the need for dentures, dental implants are generally considered the ‘standard of care’ for teeth replacement.
When a person loses all their teeth, there are no roots left in the jawbone to stimulate bone growth. This means the body believes that the jawbone is no longer necessary and it begins to dissolve away. At Sheen Dental Implants in Richmond, we offer various implant options that can help to restore your smile.
What could happen?
The result of your bone dissolving could be varying levels of facial collapse. It can become difficult to wear a denture because there is little bone left to keep it in place.
As well as this, as the bone melts away, facial muscles can pull back from their natural position. Lips can even cave in, as they lose support. This can cause parts of the lower face to shrivel up and will create wrinkles around the mouth. This can make a person look much older than they actually are.
Complete tooth loss and the deterioration of the jaw can even result in significant health problems. These can vary massively, from improper digestion to compromised eating habits, as well as many more issues.
Some studies have indicated that poor oral health can also lead to heart problems. Serious cases of gum disease are associated with a greater risk of developing certain diseases or experiencing certain health issues. This can include increased risk of artery disease, strokes and diabetes. Another problem that can occur is adverse pregnancy outcomes for some women.
If you don’t want to risk any of these problems, dental implants in Richmond could be the answer to your missing teeth issues.
