Your teeth affect your whole body. A missing tooth can affect your speech, bite and eating choices. As you rely more on your remaining teeth, you increase the chance of them wearing out prematurely, or getting damaged or lost.
Generally, people will lose 25% of their supporting jawbone structure within the first year after tooth loss. Dental implants are more easily placed when teeth are first extracted because bone replacement becomes more complex as time passes.
Implants act just like your natural teeth. They safeguard and preserve your bone structure, oral health and appearance.
Call Dr. Dominik Dubravec DDS, MMSc, PC today and schedule an appointment to discuss your Frankfort, IL implant options so that you can make the most informed decision concerning tooth replacement.
