The importance of replacing missing teeth
Replacing a missing tooth comes with a number of benefits. For one, replacing your teeth and restoring your smile can boost your confidence and self-esteem, especially if you feel self-conscious about having a gap in your smile as a result of a lost tooth.
Having a missing tooth can also increase the risk of you developing gum disease or tooth decay. With a gap in between your teeth, you may find it more difficult to clean and remove food debris, especially in those harder-to-reach places, which can result in a build-up of debris and plaque.
Losing a tooth can also affect your bone mass. After some time, you will begin to lose bone mass around the area where there should be a tooth, which can cause problems.
You may also find that having a gap in between your teeth can impact the way you speak and the way you chew. Not chewing your food properly can also cause digestive issues such as bloating and indigestion, as the food is not being properly processed before swallowing.
The benefits of having dental implants Hertfordshire
Replacing your missing tooth with a dental implant comes with a number of benefits. Dental implants are made to look as natural as possible, matching the shade and shape of your remaining teeth. This means no one will know that you have a dental implant unless you tell them.
Dental implants are also made to behave like your natural teeth. As the implant itself is inserted into the jawbone, the stability mimics that of a real tooth meaning that you can eat as normal without any fear of your implant shifting or coming out of place. This also makes dental implants durable and should you maintain a good oral care regime and brush and floss your teeth as recommended, dental implants can last many years. This also means that you do not have to limit or cut out any foods from your diet as you will be able to chew normally.
Overall dental implants Hertfordshire are a great investment and should you opt for this treatment you can be sure to have long-lasting results.
