When
a person loses a tooth, dental implants can be a common intervention. The top
reasons for a missing tooth can be poor oral hygiene, plaque buildup, tartar
buildup, decay, or disease.
Dental
implants are used as a foundation and structure for the replacement tooth.
Unlike other replacement options, an implant replaces the tooth and the root.
If you lose a tooth and do not replace, a domino effect where one shift leads
to another can happen. It can also cause issues with your dental occlusion
which will affect your life.
When are dental implants necessary?
If
you do not want dentures, bridges, or crowns to replace missing teeth, dental
implants are then necessary. If you have missing teeth and do not replace them,
the consequences can become extreme. Dental implants are also necessary for the
aesthetic benefits. Dental implants can also play a critical role in the
function of the mouth. A dental implant can help support a healthy bite, keep
teeth in their proper places, and contribute to decreasing bone deterioration.
The pressure and stimulus of the chewing action can also help to preserve the jawbone.
Dental
implants can also be beneficial to the overall beauty aspect of your teeth.
With dental implants, you may not feel as self-conscious about how your smile.
Dental implants are necessary to help increase your self-esteem and
self-confidence when eating.
What happens if dental implants are
not used?
Some
people question the necessity of replacing a missing tooth with an implant.
Some people even wonder how long they can wait before getting the procedure.
These questions come from fear about the process and anxiety about the price of
it. Most people do not realize that waiting or refusing dental implants can
have severe adverse effects on the health of their mouths. This lack of
information leads individuals to wait too long to have the dental implant
procedure completed.
When
you put off or forgo dental implant surgery, you do so to your detriment. The
results prove that it adversely affects your oral health, the overall health of
your body, and your pocketbook. Typically, forgoing or delaying implant surgery
causes more dental work requirements.
What are the long-term costs
associated with not getting dental implants?
A
wide array of items can go incredibly wrong if when a patient decides not to
have dental implant surgery or delay the surgery. When a tooth needs to be
pulled, it must also be removed or cause damage to the adjacent teeth. Dentists
understand delaying or forgoing almost any dental procedure can cause damage
later in life.
The
positioning of your teeth can also be affected by postponing a dental implant.
Every tooth in your mouth works together as partners. When one of these
partners is missing, the other teeth can shift. The teeth in the rear of your
mouth can lean forward into the implant space. This fact means that when you do
decide to get the implant, there may not be enough room. If an opposing tooth
does not have a partner, it can become dislodged from the arch creating issues
with your bite.
This
shifting of the adjacent teeth is a gradual process that you may not notice.
However, it begins as soon as you have a missing tooth. The eruption of the
opposing tooth can also increase the chances of you experiencing temporomandibular
joint pain (TMJ). It is important also
to remember that dental implants generally become an investment in an
individual’s confidence, oral health, and appearance. Most patients are
concerned with the price of the procedure, but it is very affordable. It is
more expensive to wait.
