As we get into our forties, natural metabolic changes and ageing oral tissues make teeth and gums more vulnerable.
This increased sensitivity means that the loss of a tooth, if left untreated, can lead to significant complications, affecting not only your oral health, but also your general well-being.
Dental implant, why is this important?
Around the age of 40, bone metabolism begins to slow down, making your jaw more fragile.
As a result, tooth loss can have a significant impact and lead to bone collapse, as the jawbone is no longer stimulated by the natural root of your tooth.
This bone weakness can, in turn, alter the alignment of the remaining teeth, affecting your occlusion and leading to pain or difficulty in chewing.
By replacing the missing tooth with an implant, you help maintain the bone structure of your jaw, preventing complications and maintaining good oral health over the long term.
Why choose a dental implant?
Dental implants offer a complete replacement solution, simulating both the function of the tooth root and that of the visible tooth.
Unlike removable dentures or dental bridges, implants are fixed and integrated into the bone, so there’s no risk of irritation or mobility.
By helping to maintain the bone structure of your jaw, implants also help to preserve the shape of your face, avoiding hollowing of the cheeks and changes in your facial appearance, which can become more pronounced with age.
