Dental Implants Cincinnati
Tooth loss plagues many Americans and can be the result of tooth decay, gum disease, or even a traumatic experience. Tooth loss victims are no longer limited to treatment options like dentures or bridges with the advent of the dental implant. Unlike dentures or crown-based dental bridges dental implants are a permanent solution to missing teeth and are the most highly recommended treatment to provide a strong foundation for your teeth.
What Exactly Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are, like the name says, surgically implanted posts that are inserted in your jawbone to replace tooth roots. Tooth roots are the foundation for your teeth yet, once lost, will no longer support the teeth needed to maintain good oral health and aesthetics. A dental implant will create a bond with your jawbone and will function like your tooth root and provide the dental benefits you deserve as would a natural tooth.

Other Benefits to Dental Implants
Unbeknownst to most tooth loss victims are the effects that missing teeth have on your appearance and oral health. Many people with missing teeth avoid smiling because they are embarrassed by the appearance of their mouth. This can result in a decreased quality of life due to a person’s self-consciousness.
Bone Loss from Missing Teeth
In addition to the embarrassment suffered from missing teeth there are also health issues related to tooth loss. Your Cincinnati implant dentist of the Dental Health Center explains:
Once a person loses a tooth from gum disease, extraction or otherwise they should be aware that the supporting jawbone begins to resorb (dissolve). This process creates the sunken in facial appearance that many people have witnessed on elderly people who have not replaced their teeth. The longer the tooth remains missing the greater the effects of jawbone resorption. Dental implants can remedy this issue and will combat jawbone resorption.
