Many people experience the loss of teeth at some point in their lives. Teeth can be lost due to a number of different reasons including decay, disease, trauma or even simply old age. Regardless of how your teeth were lost, however, it becomes important that you replace them as soon as you can in order to restore your dental health. Here at the dental office of Azra Saleem, DDS you may be able to get dental implants in Wallingford. Though Dr. Saleem will be using a procedure that falls under cosmetic dentistry, dental implants can help to restore your smile as well as your health.
The method by which you lost your teeth may cause damage and trauma to your dental health to begin with, but continuing to live with missing teeth can create even more problems. Missing teeth can put a significant amount of strain on your bite and any remaining teeth that you may still have. This can actually cause these teeth to shift in place and cause even more dental trauma as well. In order to prevent this from happening, it is generally recommended that you replace missing teeth as soon as you can. Restoring your smile will also improve your appearance as well, and it may help that dental implants in Wallingford look, feel and perform the most like natural teeth do, especially compared to other devices such as dentures or bridges. Before going ahead with this procedure, Azra Saleem, DDS will need to evaluate your overall dental health in order to determine whether or not you will be able to support the posts used with implants. Since implants are surgically inserted, it helps if your health is in otherwise good shape and that you have enough jawbone to support the posts.
If you have lost any teeth, it is important that you consider your options as soon as you can. Call us here at the dental office of Azra Saleem, DDS to schedule an appointment for an evaluation where you can find out whether or not dental implants in Wallingford are the right option for you.
