Implants are the best method for replacing teeth as they combat the gradual bone loss that occurs with removable dentures and dental bridges. This can cause a loss of support to your facial structure, which eventually will begin to sag. As the bone degrades over time, denture wearers will need them adjusted to avoid them becoming loose and sore, which is not a consideration with implants.
If you only have a single missing tooth, it’s essential to replace it as soon as you can to prevent the surrounding teeth from shifting out of position. A gap in your smile can cause bite issues, which results in tooth wear and potential jaw issues.
