Tooth loss, especially the abrupt loss or extraction of all your natural teeth, can be incredibly challenging, both emotionally and physically. Patients who must face tooth loss, whether from trauma, decay, or gum disease, tend to find the transition very difficult. As soon your natural teeth are removed, the constant bone stimulation once provided by chewing no longer occurs, and the jaw bone that once supported the teeth and soft tissues begins to deteriorate. Over time, these changes can cause traditional dentures to fit poorly, making it difficult to maintain a proper diet and speak and smile confidently. Overall, many patients find that traditional dentures are not the ideal tooth loss solution. Dr. Carter understands this. That’s why he now offers dental implanted supported prosthetics and dentures. Dental implants can be placed immediately to restore the natural form and function of a single tooth, or an entire set of missing teeth.

Dental Implants for Lawrenceville and Beyond

Is a Bright and Confident Smile on Your Holiday Wish List? If you have missing teeth, you have an important decision to make; but choosing a tooth replacement method can be confusing. Your first consideration, however, should be determining the method that is best for your long term dental health. For most patients, that method is dental implants. Dental implants do more than just replace your missing teeth, they also replace and preserve your tooth roots and jaw bone. When you lose a tooth, your facial structure begins to diminish. Surrounding each of your teeth is an alveolar bone that supports the tooth, but when the tooth is lost, this bone disintegrates. This bone loss will occur very rapidly because the root is no longer stimulating and stabilizing the jawbone. That’s why patients who choose not to replace their missing teeth, and long-term denture wearers, appear to have a caved-in facial appearance. Besides aging you prematurely, loss teeth also compromise your remaining healthy teeth. They create esthetic and periodontal issues and bite misalignment. If several teeth are lost, and not replaced, it’s also common for patients to suffer from social consequences and poor health. To prevent these consequences, Dr. Carter now recommends dental implants, same-day dental implants, and implant supported dentures to Lawrenceville tooth replacement patients.
