\"When\u2019sNo matter how funny your smile may look, missing a tooth is no laughing matter! Both your oral and overall health could be at risk. If you\u2019ve been considering different replacement options, it can be overwhelming to make the right decision. Your dentist in Harker Heights wants you to know that dental implants are hands-down the best way to replace missing components of your smile. Here are a few reasons why.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Your jawbone will stay healthy because of the implanted titanium post.<\/h2>\n

Most patients believe the most important part of their teeth is the visible portion. In reality, there\u2019s a very critical part of your tooth that is buried within your jawbone: the root of your tooth. Your tooth root is full of nerve endings and stimulates blood flow in your jawbone when you chew. This keeps your jawbone healthy and strong.<\/p>\n

If you happen to lose a tooth, you also lose your vital tooth root and your jawbone can deteriorate, causing a sunken, aged facial appearance. Dental implants are equipped with a biocompatible titanium tooth root<\/a> that natural fuses with your jawbone. Dental implants work to keep your mouth healthy from top to bottom!<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The dental implant will prevent your other teeth from shifting.<\/h2>\n

Your teeth work together and support each other. When one goes missing, they start to shift and change positions to fill that gap. Not only will your smile look crooked, but you can develop dental problems from a misaligned bite. In order to avoid TMJ disorder, overlapping teeth, gapped teeth, or crooked teeth, our dentists recommend that you have a dental implant installed. This will ensure all your teeth stay put.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You don\u2019t have to change your dental routine to keep your teeth clean and shiny.<\/h2>\n

There are other tooth replacement options that mimic your natural teeth. They seem great up until it comes to maintaining them after they\u2019ve been installed or placed. All you have to do is brush twice a day, floss regularly, and visit Market Heights Family Dental for normal checkups and professional cleanings.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Your smile will be gorgeous, again!<\/h2>\n

There are many replacement options that include unsightly, discoloring metals. Dental fillings and other similar restorations can make your damaged teeth stand out even more than before. Instead of having a restoration that doesn\u2019t blend well when you speak and eat, you can have a tooth replacement that is completely camouflaged amongst your natural teeth. Our dental office will base the color of your dental prosthetic against your permanent teeth, making it impossible to tell that you\u2019ve had dental work done.<\/p>\n
