For anybody with missing teeth, dental implants are an important option to consider. There are any number of reasons why a person will want to consider replacing missing teeth. Replacing missing teeth with dental implants can give a person the most secure, most stable, and realistic-looking replacement option available. The reality is that nobody wants to live with missing teeth. However, there are also far more important reasons, than aesthetics alone, to consider replacing teeth that have been lost.  Before one can thoroughly examine all of the options to replace missing teeth, it is important to understand why it is important to replace missing teeth as soon as possible.

WHY AND WHEN PEOPLE LOSE TEETH

There are many reasons why a person may lose a tooth or teeth. The most common reason is age. As a person ages, the strength of the teeth, the enamel, and the ability of the jawbone to maintain the teeth tend to diminish. Thus, the teeth become more fragile and are often lost over time. In addition, there are other reasons that a person can lose teeth, that have nothing to do with age. Other commons reasons for tooth loss include disease, decay, or failure to properly take care of one’s teeth. Sometimes, diseases like periodontal disease can result in a patient losing one or more teeth long before the proper time. Patients who do lose teeth early in life are perfect candidates for dental implants. People also lose teeth because of accidents, sports injuries, and trauma to the mouth. There is no age limit on getting into an accident, having a slip-and-fall, or getting bumped in the mouth while playing sports. In other words, tooth loss can happen for a number of reasons that age has very little to do with.

THE IMPORTANCE OF REPLACING TEETH

For patients who have lost teeth, regardless of the age or stage of life, it is critical to replace the teeth as soon as possible. This is because the teeth play a very important role in many critical functions that the person is engaged in. Teeth play a vital role in communication and influence the digestive system. Most people do not realize that teeth are the first step in digesting food.

DIGESTION

The bottom line is the teeth are critically important for a person to be able to chew, tear, bite, and grind food in their mouth. If a tooth has been lost, it can negatively influence the mouth’s ability to do this in an effective manner. This will also reduce a person’s ability to enjoy life to the fullest. Missing teeth can be extremely detrimental to the health of an individual who is no longer to able to eat nutritional foods. Using dental implants, a person can replace the missing teeth and never have to worry about the food they eat.

SPEAKING

Believe it or not, teeth are very instrumental in a person’s ability to speak and communicate effectively. People use teeth to offset certain words, to enunciate properly, and to form speech patterns. The teeth are critically important for speech. People who have lost one or more teeth tend to find it more difficult to speak, something that can be extremely frustrating. As a young child, we all learn to speak and do so more effectively once the teeth start to come in. Replacing missing teeth with dental implants is a highly effective way to restore the balance and a person’s ability to speak clearly. To learn more about this solution, call our office today.
