A dental implant is a small metal piece placed in the jaw in replacement of a missing tooth. Teeth are lost or missing for several reasons such as trauma, decay, periodontal disease, or even genetics. It is important to replace missing teeth because when a tooth is missing there is no contact with the opposing arch. This can cause opposing teeth to gradually extrude which leads to other problems, such as fractures, mobility, tooth loss, shifting in surrounding teeth, and gum problems. You need a complete dental check-up to find out if implants are right for you. Your gums must be healthy and your jawbone able to support the implants. Talk to your dentist, Visit Family Dental Care to find out more about dental implants.
