When you are missing one or more teeth, our dental implant dentist in Chicago has the solution you need. Dental implants restore your smile. In addition to being aesthetically appealing, dental implants also restore optimal functionality to your mouth. When you have one or more missing teeth, chewing your food properly can be difficult. You might avoid eating healthy foods such as fresh apples or raw carrots because biting and chewing is too difficult without all of your teeth. You may not be getting the nutrition that you need.
Speaking could also be difficult if you do not have all of your teeth. You might feel self-conscious about talking, singing or smiling when you have a missing tooth. A dental implant could restore your confidence. Implants are customized for each person. They are made in a dental lab with three-dimensional images and impressions of your mouth. The implant crown is made to match your natural teeth, so it will not be noticeable that you have an implant.
When you lose a natural tooth, your jaw bone may recede. A loss of jaw bone mass may have negative impacts on the rest of your teeth. Receding jaw bone and gum tissue could expose sensitive areas of the neighboring teeth. The increased exposure might make your teeth more difficult to clean. If you lose a lot of your jaw bone mass, the contour of your face could change. Losing a lot of jaw bone mass could make you look a lot older than you are.
Dental implants are a safe and effective way of replacing a missing tooth. The process of getting a dental implant is streamlined and free of pain. Call us at EON Clinics or visit our website to learn more about our dental implant dentist in Chicago.
