People lose a tooth due to mutliple reasons – through an accident, decay or gum disease. Whatever that reason may be the sad part is your natural tooth is lost. But thanks to modern dentistry, there are several options available to replace that missing tooth.
If you lost a tooth because of an accident, and the tooth is knocked off with the roots, the tooth can be replanted back in its socket. But this should be done soon after the accident – within an hour.
Another option for you is to get dental implants. Dental implants look like real teeth and functions like one too. They can withstand chewing and grinding and they are permanent fixtures so they’re secure. They’re also easy to clean.
The reason why dental implants are succesful is because of the fusion of the metal implant and the bone. This is called osseointegration. Patients who need to undergo dental implant procedure should have a healthy jawbone and bone tissues. The tooth tissues grow fusing with the metal. This makes a very good anchor for the dental implant.
So if you lose a tooth, don’t worry. Remember there are many dental solutions available. Dental implants are one of the best you shoul consider. Get in touch with your dentist and they will point you to the right direction.
