Dental Implants in Oak Ridges, Richmond Hill

All too often a missing tooth in the back of your mouth can be ignored due to an "out of sight, out of mind" mentality, but this can be a HUGE mistake!

The importance of your tooth goes much further than just your smile . Your teeth are important for chewing food efficiently while also acting as a space holder to ensure surrounding teeth do not tip and affect your overall bite and functionality. Teeth also aid in preventing bone loss and maintainingbone structure. Without that tooth in place, the surrounding teeth can shift causing gaps and making decay more likely, bone loss and damage more probable and the surrounding area can become more apt to suffer from periodontal disease.

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that can be placed to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost one or more teeth due to periodontal disease, decay or injury.

Dental implants can:

• replace one or more teeth without affecting surrounding teeth
• support a bridge and eliminate the need for a removable partial denture
• provide support for a denture making it more secure and comfortable

A dental implant can give you back confidence in your smile, allow you to eat comfortably and offer you a clean, healthy oral environment. If you think this may be the dental solution for your smile, contact your Richmond Hill dentist or click here to schedule an appointment.
