Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom teeth may cause teeth movement. The pressure caused by the wisdom teeth can also cause more severe issues such as cavities or bone resorption in neighboring teeth. If an infected wisdom tooth is not removed, it may generate a fluid-filled cyst, destroying the jawbone and damaging the surrounding nerves and teeth.
Missing One Tooth?
Dental implants are currently considered the gold standard when replacing missing teeth. They promote the health of not just a single missing tooth, but also that of the remaining healthy teeth around it. The implant prevents bone loss, by stimulating the bone that holds the root of the tooth, keeping the bone that holds the roots of neighboring teeth healthy and strong.
Missing Multiple Teeth?
When multiple neighboring teeth are missing, the bone will begin to resorb and shrink rapidly. The surrounding teeth will start to shift and move into the open space. The remaining teeth begin to overcompensate for the lost teeth, and they too risk being lost.
Missing All Your Teeth?
If you are missing all of your teeth, an implant-supported full bridge or denture can replace all of them. Unlike traditional dentures, dental implants will replace your lost natural teeth and some of the lost roots. Dental implants are the most durable and functional tooth replacement option available today.
