How Those Missing Teeth Can Ruin Your Smile
If you have gaps in your smile due to missing teeth, the situation isn’t going to get better on its own. In fact, it’s likely to get a lot worse. That’s because all the teeth in a healthy smile support each other. But as soon as you lose even one tooth, the integrity of the entire system is disrupted. Your remaining teeth begin to shift around and your jawbone begins to deteriorate, which can lead to the loss of even more teeth.
We encourage you to continue reading our website to learn more about how dental implants are a solution that can make a positive difference in your life.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental implants last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, dental implants can last up to a lifetime. As long as they’re well taken care of, implants often never need to be replaced.
How do you take care of your dental implants after the procedure?
Dental implants can be maintained just like natural teeth, with daily brushing and flossing. To avoid scratching your implant, Dr. Wirth recommends using a soft-bristled toothbrush and nylon floss, as well as avoiding any toothpaste that contains abrasive ingredients.
Are dental implants safe?
Dental implants have a success rate of 98% — as long as the surgery is performed by an experienced and qualified dentist like Dr. Wirth, you have nothing to worry about. Implants are also the only tooth replacement that stimulates jawbone growth to protect your long-term health.
