[CAMDEN, 9/10/2017] Missing teeth can be embarrassing, causing people to hide their smile and lose their self-esteem. Moreover, missing teeth can cause health problems such as gum disease or eating and speaking disabilities. In some cases, missing teeth can even cause jaw problems and additional tooth loss.

Dentists at Ace Dental are sensitive to the difficulties missing teeth can create and they are eager to help patients overcome them. The experienced and well-trained dentists at Ace Dental will examine patient’s teeth thoroughly and determine whether dental implants are the right treatment for them.

Unlike conventional tooth replacement methods, dental implants at Ace Dental replace missing teeth permanently and create a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth. With dental implants at Ace Dental, patients can regain their self-confidence, improve their health and ameliorate the quality of their life.

How do dental implants work?

At Ace Dental, dental implants are small, titanium, screw-shaped posts, which are surgically inserted into the jawbone. Dental implants are as functional as real teeth because they have the unique ability to fuse with the bone tissue into the jawbone. Once healed, they are usually mounted by replacement teeth such as crowns, bridges or dentures.

What are the health benefits of dental implants at Ace Dental?

Patients who opt for dental implants at Ace Dental, gain jaw stability and improve their oral function considerably. This is because dental implants act as replacement tooth roots and a tooth root acts as an anchor, holding the jawbone in place.

More importantly, dental implants can stand alone without support from neighbouring teeth. In contrast, conventional bridges require grinding down healthy tooth enamel for support, which can weaken the teeth in the long run.

Additionally, dental implants at Ace Dental prevent healthy teeth from shifting to the spaces created by missing teeth in the mouth. This process can affect your ability to chew and talk properly or even lead to further tooth loss.

A complete smile – including roots and replacement teeth – offers many health benefits to patients who have suffered tooth loss. To learn more about dental implants, schedule a consultation appointment with a friendly dentist at Ace Dental.
