Your teeth can fall out due to several factors. Some people are born with teeth missing, which are called congenitally missing teeth. You may have also needed to have your tooth extracted at some point due to decay, trauma or another form of damage. When you have missing teeth, you should explore what can be done to replace them. We’ll detail all possible options that are available to you, discussing the pros and cons of each so you can decide what you’d like to do.
A dental implant is a titanium screw. When placed in your jaw, the goal is that the bone will grow around the implant, integrating it into the jaw. When the site has healed, you can have a restoration placed on top. The most common is a dental crown. You can also have a bridge placed on the implant. If you have no teeth remaining, you can have dentures anchored to your implant to replace all teeth.
Once you get your implant, you’ll find it’s easy to take care of. It’s been found that up to 95% of dental implants can last for more than 25 years. That will depend on several factors, however. It’s essential that you come in for regular checkup and cleaning appointments to monitor the health of your dental implant and restoration. Though the dental implant isn’t a real tooth, you must brush and floss around it because you can get gum disease around the implant without feeling anything.
