People who have lost teeth might feel too self-conscious to smile or talk. Additionally, biting irregularities caused by tooth loss can have a negative effect on eating habits and this can lead to secondary health problems like malnutrition. Regardless of the nature of problems related to tooth loss, dental implants may provide a simple remedy with proven results. Count on Dr. Eshom, your San Diego Cosmetic Dentist to help you understand your dental implant options.

Replacing a Single Tooth

If you are missing a single tooth, one implant and a crown can replace it. A dental implant replaces both the lost natural tooth and its root.

Replacing Several Teeth

If you are missing several teeth, implant-supported bridges can replace them. Dental implants will replace both your lost natural teeth and some of the roots.Implant-supported bridges have a primary advantage over traditional bridges; when an implant is placed the bone is stimulated and preserved. With a bridge, most patients experience bone atrophy. Dental implants have enhanced longevity and are more functional and pleasing than bridges and crowns.

Replacing All of Your Teeth

If you are missing all of your teeth, an implant-supported full bridge or full denture can replace them. Dental implants will replace both your lost natural teeth and some of the roots.

Tooth loss may occur from the following:

  • Tooth decay
  • Root canal failure
  • Periodontitis (gum disease)
  • Trauma to the mouth
  • Excessive wear and tear
