When Should You Begin to Consider Dental Implants?

Posted on 10/22/2021 by San Tan Oral Surgery

Dental implants are one of the most reliable tooth replacement options. These dental appliances do a fantastic job replacing your lost permanent tooth. They help restore your smile and eating habits; almost every mouth function will be restored to its original state. Therefore, these dental appliances are beneficial and will improve your smile significantly. Here are several situations when you should consider getting dental implants.

Tooth Loss

If you have lost your tooth, you should consider getting dental implants. There are many causes of tooth loss; it could be due to dental trauma or an accident. Losing a tooth comes with several setbacks. For instance, it could affect your smile and your ability to chew food. This could not only affect your confidence but could also lead to poor nutrition. Getting dental implants will help fix this problem. Your smile and chewing ability will be restored.

Severe Oral Infection

If you have a severe oral condition like tooth decay, you should consider getting dental implants. Oral infections like gum disease can damage your teeth, especially when left untreated. In some cases, the damage these conditions cause to your teeth is beyond repair and will need extraction. In that case, you can opt for dental implants to replace them. Not only will they restore your mouth functionality, but also help improve your smile.

You Cannot Wear Dentures

In some cases, your gums are affected to the point that you can no longer wear dentures. This will leave you with several other options, including dental implants. Getting them will be more of an upgrade because they are by far the best tooth replacement alternative. Therefore, if you can't wear dentures anymore, you should consider getting dental implants.

What our patients are saying about us

"Dr. Colson is amazing! She explained everything thoroughly without sounding condescending and gently but directly guides you through the whole procedure. She is excellent and super experienced. I got my wisdom teeth pulled (3 partially impacted and one simply extracted) and aside from asking too many questions under laughing gas before the general anesthesia knocked me out, I got no complications and have had essentially no pain at all." – Ana D.
