The reason the loss of your teeth roots doesn’t seem like a big deal at first is because it doesn’t immediately affect the quality of your bite. After placing a dental bridge or partial/full denture to replace your lost teeth, it can seem like the problem of your lost teeth is solved. However, without the support of implanted anchors, like roots, your prosthesis won’t be as comfortable and secure as it could be. It also can’t stimulate your jawbone underneath your gums the way your teeth roots did, and over time, that lack of stimulation can cause your jaw to lose mass and density.
Dental implants can restore the support system that your lost teeth roots were responsible for and help stop the more destructive consequences of tooth loss. That includes the loss of your jawbone structure, which makes it more likely that you’ll lose teeth in the future and suffer even more bite complications. Because they reestablish most of the support that your teeth need to remain strong and healthy, dental implants offer the most comprehensive way to reestablish your bite’s full function.
Dental implants are successful because they mimic the biological functions of your healthy, natural teeth roots.
