Quiz: Planning To Restore Your Incomplete Smile

Missing teeth can hurt how you look, how you approach eating, and your overall oral health. Thanks to modern dental care, your dentist can provide you with prosthetic dental support that offers functional value, while also improving how you look. Many patients who seek a prosthetic can benefit from the placement of a dental implant. An implant provides a sort of artificial tooth root for your restoration, which creates better support. It can also provide unique support for your jawbone, which can be vulnerable to deterioration after tooth loss. Multiple implants can be used to secure a larger restoration.

Questions:

True Or False: When dental implants are used to provide prosthetic support, you can have your restoration permanently placed, while also protecting yourself against jawbone resorption.

True Or False: Partial dentures can be custom-made to fill multiple gaps in your incomplete smile by working around your remaining teeth.

True Or False: When you fail to replace lost teeth, you face an increased risk for suffering a deterioration in your jawbone, TMJ problems, and the loss of more teeth.

Answers:

True! If you lose teeth, your jawbone can suffer. This is because the roots of your teeth create important stimulation that helps keep up the proper nutrient flow. Implants bring back this important stimulation.

True! Partial dentures are used to help those patients who have some non-adjacent absences in their smile. By receiving one, you can take care of multiple gaps with one restoration.

True! Not replacing lost teeth can mean going without your best smile. It can also create a higher risk for future tooth loss, and create a range of functional and oral health concerns.
