There are many tools that dentists can use to improve your smile. Dental implants help patients who need both cosmetic and reconstructive work. But are dental implants the right choice for you? In this article, we will discuss three common signs that you might need dental implants.
1- You Have Jaw Bone Loss
Missing teeth can often cause bone loss in your jaw. If you are in the beginning stages of bone loss, a dental implant will strengthen your jaw by binding to your remaining bone. This will allow you to continue with cosmetic dental work.
2- You Have Problems With Loose Dentures
Dental implants are a great alternative to dentures for patients who find their dentures to be loose or uncomfortable. Permanent dental implants will help your artificial teeth more closely mimic the look and feel of genuine teeth.
3- You Have a Severely Cracked Tooth
A severely broken or cracked tooth might be damaged beyond repair. In these situations, it’s often best to extract the tooth and replace it with a dental implant or crown. A dental implant will allow your oral surgeon to support your jaw bone and create a strong base for an artificial tooth.
