Whether it\u2019s from gum disease, trauma, or simple wear, even one missing tooth can put a damper on the look and function of your smile. So, if you are thinking you don\u2019t have to replace a missing back tooth, think again. Here are some reasons why you should from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paradisedentistryorthodenver.com\/dental-implants.html\">your dentist in Denver<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Risks of Not Replacing Your Missing Back Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to tooth loss, people often treat a missing front tooth with much more urgency since the gapping space is evident every time you open your mouth. In reality, your back teeth are just as important, and their absence can lead to several dental problems, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Deterioration of adjacent teeth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulty chewing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bone loss<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Misalignment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to modern dentistry, a missing back tooth, or perhaps more than one, doesn\u2019t have to be a permanent issue. In fact, state-of-the-art tooth replacement options like dental implants come with several priceless benefits, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Longevity<\/strong> \u2013 With the proper care, dental implants can rebuild your smile and restore your bite for 20-plus years!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Root to crown tooth replacement<\/strong> \u2013 Unlike dentures, which only replace the visible portion of your tooth, dental implants are inserted directly into the jawbone to effectively replace the entire tooth\u2019s structure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lifelike <\/strong>\u2013 Dental implants are meticulously crafted to match the size, shape, and shade of your surrounding teeth. The result? A replacement that is fully functional and extremely natural-looking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stability<\/strong> \u2013 Since the posts undergo a process called osseointegration, wherein they fuse to the jawbone, you won\u2019t have to worry about embarrassing movement when you\u2019re chewing or talking with dental implants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Easy care<\/strong> \u2013 Like your natural teeth, you can keep your dental implants in pristine condition throughout the years by implementing a solid at-home oral hygiene routine, visiting your dentist every six months for a checkup and cleaning, and avoiding poor dental habits like smoking and chewing on ice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Is a Candidate for Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you are missing one, a few, or an entire arch of teeth, you may be a candidate for dental implants. However, your initial consultation will involve a thorough dental exam to know for sure. Fortunately, even if an untreated issue like gum disease stands in your way initially, your dental team can respond with the appropriate treatment first. So, don\u2019t hesitate to get in touch with your dentist in Denver today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paradisedentistryorthodenver.com\/meet-the-dentist.html\">Dr. Shauna Soltani<\/a> earned her dental doctorate from the University of Colorado.
