Do you have missing teeth? Have you had missing teeth for years?
You may have noticed a sunken appearance around the lower face or even teeth shifting on the gum. This can be due to bone loss, a natural occurrence when tooth roots are no longer there to stimulate bone health.
Our Arvada dental office offers many tooth replacement options to restore your smile. However, the only choice if you want to preserve your jawbone health is the dental implant. Dental implants may be single, or we can discuss implant-supported dentures.
Preventing Jawbone Loss with Dental Implants
Your jawbone relies on tooth roots to stimulate and keep it viable and healthy. When you lose teeth, you also lose jawbone health and density.
Bone loss can mean a prematurely aged appearance in the lower face, gum recession, and other oral health issues.
Options like dentures and bridges work well for tooth replacement, but they do not stop bone loss. However, dentures sit on top of the gums, and bridges are connected to healthy teeth via dental crowns. Because they integrate with the bone, dental implants in Arvada are the only tooth replacement option that actively prevents jawbone deterioration.
If you have already experienced significant bone loss, Dr. Jenkins can discuss bone grafting in Arvada to create a stable foundation for your new dental implants.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
With so many oral health benefits, it only makes sense to choose dental implants. However, you first must learn whether dental implants are suitable for you. This requires a consultation with a dental implant dentist.
At your consultation, you'll learn whether you're a candidate for dental implants, whether you'll need pretreatments, and how much your implants will cost. The price of dental implants varies by patient due to the type of implant, number of implants, and the case's complexity.
If you are not a suitable candidate for dental implants in Arvada, CO, the dentist will explain why and discuss alternatives.
