When a person loses a tooth, the health and beauty of their smile suffers. Thankfully, at The Silverstrom Group, we can restore a smile to optimal appearance and function with dental implants. In today’s blog, your Livingston dentists, Dr. David Silverstrom and Dr. Gary Silverstrom, offer a fun quiz to explain how dental implants can provide durable and natural looking restoration.
Dental Implant Quiz
1. True or False: Losing a tooth may lead to misalignment.
2. True or False: Missing teeth affect your appearance.
3. True or False: Dental implants restore smiles.
4. True or False: Dental implants provide long lasting and natural looking restoration.
Answer Key
1. True. After losing a tooth, the surrounding teeth often begin drifting towards the empty socket. This leads to misalignment, which can eventually make eating and even speaking difficult. Crooked teeth also make thorough brushing and flossing difficulty, increasing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
2. True. When a tooth is lost, the body responds by suspending the flow calcium and phosphorus to the jawbone. Deprived of essential nutrients, the jawbone tissue begins to dissolve. This not only leads to further tooth loss, but sometimes causes the patient to take on an aged appearance, including the development of jowls, sunken cheeks, and a ptotic chin.
3. True. An implant is a biocompatible titanium post your Livingston NJ cosmetic dentists insert directly into the jawbone. The implant is accepted by the body as a natural tooth, preventing the loss of jawbone tissue and preserving your smile.
4. True. On average, an implant can last for 25 years. In some cases, implants have been known to last even longer. Each implant will be topped with a custom-made and shaded crown, ensuring your restoration blends seamlessly with your smile.
