If you are heading towards tooth loss, you want to start thinking about how to replace those teeth now. Don\u2019t kick back and think this is something that you can deal with this year, next year, sometime or never. Here\u2019s why, at The Old Windsor Dental Practice<\/strong>, we encourage our patients to get the ball rolling as soon as possible:<\/p>\n

\"DentalTooth loss means bone loss<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you lose a tooth, the bone and gum in the area of the jaw it is gone from start to shrink back almost immediately. It can take as little as one year to lose as much as 25% of your jawbone size and density in the gap where your tooth was. If you are losing a lot of teeth, you are looking at a shrunken jaw and a pointy chin in the not-too-distant future. This bone loss is because there is no tooth root sending down vibrations from impacts with opposing teeth. These vibrations tell the bone your teeth are still in action. Without them, your jawbone dissolves itself.<\/p>\n

What does this mean for replacement teeth?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bone loss is an important factor to bear in mind when you are deciding what kind of replacement teeth to go for. Only dental implants in Windsor<\/a> replace the roots of your teeth. Dentures and fixed bridges only replace the crowns. So, when considering which method of tooth replacement to go for, it\u2019s very important to think about your jawbone and facial structure.<\/p>\n

Chewing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another important factor is your ability to chew and bite. Dental implants in Windsor<\/strong> give you back your full chewing power. This is important because it\u2019s often the more difficult to chew foods that contain the most nutrition. Think nuts, raw vegetables, fresh fruits, meats.<\/p>\n

Maintenance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keeping your restorations clean is also very important. Dentures require removal and overnight soaking. Dental implants just need your usual twice daily oral health routine.<\/p>\n

Cost<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dental implants last for at least 15 years, and often for life. Dentures and fixed bridges need to be replaced every 3-10 years. When you factor in replacement costs, dental implants can often work out the same price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
