From difficulties chewing and speaking to a heightened sense of self-awareness that can damage self-esteem, even just one dental implant to replace a missing tooth can change your life. As soon as a tooth is lost, the bone density in that area of the mouth begins to decrease from lack of use, causing a sunken-in appearance and weakening the mouths supporting structures. This allows remaining teeth to shift, and leads to even further tooth loss over time. At Smile Solutions, we can help alleviate your daily frustrations and get your smile back with permanent dental implants. This modern solution has quickly become the gold standard in tooth replacement and dental implants are an ideal alternative to traditional options, such as dentures.
