After all, if you can\u2019t see that a tooth is missing, it doesn\u2019t detract from your appearance. However, if you don\u2019t replace your lost tooth, your other tooth will move to fill the space. This means they\u2019re no longer in the correct position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teeth that are out of proper position are considered to be misaligned. The top and bottom teeth don\u2019t meet correctly for optimal biting and chewing, which can lead to problems like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Clenching and grinding<\/li><li>Wear and tear<\/li><li>Misalignment of the jaw joint<\/li><li>Headaches<\/li><li>Earaches<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to prevent these problems is tooth replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choosing Dental Implants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to replacing your teeth, you have a few options, but overall, dental implants are the best choice. They look and feel natural, since they\u2019re permanent and stationary. You can eat any type of food you like without having to worry about dislodging them, as can sometimes happen with dentures. Be sure to see your dentist regularly to watch out for gum disease and for decay in your remaining teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants are usually placed in two stages. First, an&nbsp;oral surgeon&nbsp;or implant dentist places the artificial roots in your jawbone. During the healing phase, the bone tissue bonds to the titanium implants. When the healing has created a solid foundation, the artificial tooth crowns are added. Over time, your new implants will help stimulate growth in your jawbone, preventing bone atrophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Call our oral surgery office today to learn more about dental implants!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve lost one or more teeth,\u00a0tooth replacement\u00a0is an important part of your dental care.
