Dental implants could be the best option for individuals who have lost a tooth to ensure they maintain an aesthetically pleasing smile, it has been claimed.
AZ Dental Care reported dental implants offer the best course of action for teeth replacement procedures, as the implant replaces a tooth’s root, securing the new tooth in place and adding volume to the mouth.
"Replacing the tooth’s root fills the gap between your natural teeth in the jaw to prevent the jawbone from collapsing, the gums from shrinking and the neighbouring teeth from shifting," the company noted.
It added that replacing missing teeth can not only help to boost a person’s confidence, but could also improve their health.
Elsewhere, Los Angeles dentist Dr Neda Naim recently noted that dental implants can be a long-lasting and more aesthetically pleasing solution for individuals who lose their teeth than dentures.
Dr Naim claimed the treatment can last a lifetime and give a more realistic end result.
