Tooth loss can occur for a number of reasons. Not only does a missing tooth affect self-esteem, it can have negative impacts on your overall oral health. Modern technology makes fixing or replacing a missing tooth easier and more effective than ever.

Let’s talk about some of the treatment options available when considering dental implants in Florida.

Sometimes tooth loss is preventable with proper oral hygiene, and sometimes it happens as a result of facial trauma. Either scenario can typically be treated with dental implants.

It is imperative to maintain an oral hygiene regimen to prevent tooth decay. If caught early, cavities can be treated with minimally invasive procedures. The decay is removed and a filling is put in its place.

When cavities are left untreated it can lead to infected nerves in the tooth. When this happens, the endodontic treatment to remove damaged nerves and pulp is called a root canal. While this procedure has become less invasive thanks to modern technology, it is more involved than a filling and requires the use of a crown to cover the tooth.

In the event that you have been unable to receive treatment for a decaying tooth, an extraction might be the next step. When a tooth is extracted it is important to replace it for several reasons.

A missing tooth creates space for surrounding teeth to move and become misaligned. Your teeth will not function properly if this happens. This can also lead to additional tooth loss.

Bone loss in the jaw can also occur when there is not a tooth in its proper position. This can be prevented with a dental implant.

The titanium implant is an anchor that is inserted under the gum and into the jaw bone. After several months your jawbone will fuse with the anchor, returning your teeth and bones to their natural function.

If you experience tooth loss due to facial trauma it is critical to receive proper treatment immediately to ensure no further damage takes place.

Many people choose to live with a missing tooth even though it can be uncomfortable and make them self-conscious. As we have discussed there is much more to it than cosmetics, although self-esteem is still important.

Getting dental implants in Florida doesn’t have to be complicated. We offer high-quality implant treatment and have extensive experience with full mouth restorations. Crowns, bridges, or fillings may be alternative treatment options depending on the severity of the damage or decay.
