Don't Hide Your Unhealthy Smile - Improve It Instead

After spending years with gum disease, I can honestly tell you that I absolutely love my smile now. I spent so much time hiding my gum disease from other people. No matter who I met, I simply refused to smile. I lost so many chances to make new friends - people I could hang out with, or even talk to after work. But after sitting down and really talking to my dentist, I decided to take control of my dental health. My dentist offered real advice on how to take better care of my mouth. As of right now, my gums are the healthiest they've ever been. I hope that this blog gives you the strength and courage to take control of your dental health as well. I believe that your smile opens doors to new opportunities in life. You just need to be brave enough to take them.

Replacing Missing Teeth

If a patient has suffered the loss of a tooth, there could be many potential impacts that it could have on their smile. In addition to making their smile less attractive, a missing tooth can also lead to some significant structural problems with the mouth. An example of this could be the weakening of the jaw bone as the root of the tooth can help to support it. Furthermore, some patients may experience increased difficulty with speaking or eating when they suffer a lost tooth. Dental implants are often recommended as a solution for replacing a missing tooth. However, this is not the only viable treatment. Patients can also utilize dental bridges. Rather than being implanted into the jaw, a bridge will be attached to the neighboring teeth and rest on top of the gums. The best option for your tooth replacement needs will depend on the overall health of your gums and jawbone as well as your budget for having a new tooth placed where the missing one was located.
