Are you missing teeth and wonder if dental implants in Augusta, and Evans, GA, can help you? Implants are a great replacement option that can restore your smile. Your doctors at Summerville Dentistry, Dr. Sherilyn Harper, Dr. Scott Wingard, and Dr. Caleb Morris, offer dental implants to complete your smile.
Minimizing Shifting Teeth
Did you know that when you lose a tooth, the remaining ones may shift into the gap? This situation can be very frustrating because it may cause alignment issues that could impact you for many years. Thankfully, an implant helps fill in the gap in your smile to keep teeth from shifting.
Decreases Aging Symptoms
People missing even one tooth may notice that they develop sunken cheeks and even wrinkles near the tooth. That's because your facial muscles are supported by your teeth and may start sagging if they are missing. Thankfully, an implant will help by replacing that missing tooth and providing your jaw with the overall stability needed to prevent aging symptoms.
Lessens Bacteria Buildup
Bacteria often center around missing posterior teeth because it becomes harder to clean these areas. As a result, you could benefit from dental implants in Augusta, and Evans, GA.
Fixes Chewing Issues
Are you having a hard time chewing your food after losing a tooth? If so, you're not alone. Unfortunately, this problem can affect your digestion and overall health. You might find it harder to chew harder or stickier foods. A dental implant functions just like your natural teeth.
Helps With TMJ Problems
Missing teeth may worsen problems with your temporomandibular joint or TMJ. That's because more pressure may be put on the joint. Implants help by restoring your natural bite radius and minimize the extent of the pressure on this joint.
