Why Lost Teeth are a Serious Matter

Is it a big deal to lose a tooth? Most people seem to think no, but the loss of just one tooth can cause other teeth to shift from their natural positions. This is not good, as it can have an effect on chewing and absorbing nutrients from food. Over time, your face can take on a sunken look without a full set of upper and lower teeth. This adds years to your facial appearance, making you look older than your age. Sometimes your speech may become slurred, making it difficult for others to understand certain words. Your dietary choices may change to those that are softer and easier to eat. Often these types of foods have a high calorie content and result in unwanted weight gain. Dental implants are the best solution for replacement of one or many missing teeth. They look natural, are durable, and function as well as a real tooth, and no one will be able to tell they are not yours.
