| Why
Do I Need Dental Implants? Fifty-five
million teeth will be removed this
year as a result of infection, gum
disease or trauma (accident and
injury). When teeth have been
removed, several problems occur.
The remaining teeth shift, rotate and
become crooked, causing a bad bit and
making it difficult to chew food
properly. Unsightly spaces or
large gaps between your teeth may
cause embarrassment.
Ask yourself these
questions:
- Do I feel
confident when I smile, speak or
eat?
- Do my dentures
slip or cause sore spots when I
chew?
- Do I hide my
smile because of unsightly spaces
between my teeth or missing teeth?
- Are my teeth
loose and need to be stabilized
following treatment for advanced
gum disease?
- Do I regularly
need my dentures relined because
of bone resorption?
If any of these
situations apply to you, implants may
be the optimal solution.
