Minimizing Future Loss
Tooth loss is always a cause for concern. It impacts everything from your ability to eat to your self-esteem. More importantly, it can be a predictor of a more serious condition. Studies have shown that permanent tooth loss can be an indicator of early dementia.
Dementia is a decline in mental functions that affect a person’s quality of life, such as remembering the names of familiar objects and problems preparing or eating meals, for example. The severest form of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, has already been linked to periodontal disease, a chronic inflammatory oral disease. Researchers are still trying to determine if the link between dementia and perio is inflammation.
Periodontal disease, or perio for short, sets up an inflammatory response that affects the body as a whole, not just the teeth. Studies show that patients with perio can expect to lose more teeth on a yearly basis as the severity of their infection increases. That’s why, if you have been diagnosed with perio, it is very important to keep your maintenance appointments. If you have perio, we may need to see you more than twice a year to manually remove biofilm build up.

An implant provides a strong, stable option to replace missing teeth.
Your dental health is a measurement by which you engage in activities. If it hurts to bite and chew, you may not be getting the nutrition you need so that you have the energy and desire to live an active life. You may also shy away from engaging in conversation.
Will you get that date invitation? Will you be chosen for that long-sought promotion?
Missing teeth can make you so self-conscious that you don't smile as much. Many perceptions about you are based on your smile. Your friendliness, attractiveness and competency are three examples of attributes that are judged immediately by your smile.
An implant is a threaded post made of a hi-tech metal that is inserted into your upper or lower jawbone. Your own bone grows into the post to securely attach it to your jawbone.
Implants halt bone loss when teeth are missing, and it feels and looks natural when you chew and talk.
If you have been putting off doing something about your missing teeth, now is the time to explore having an implant bridge. Call today to schedule an appointment. Together, we will discuss your options and how best to restore your beautiful smil...
