Dental aging is inevitable. Eventually, you will experience aging problems like stained teeth or tooth loss. But thanks to modern day dentistry, many of our dental aging woes have a solution. Just take a look at dental implants in New Westminster

Dental implants are the ideal solution to tooth loss for a number of reasons. First, dental implants in New Westminster replace the original tooth with an artificial tooth that has the same structure as the original one. There is an abutment that will be drilled in your gums to provide anchor to the artificial tooth that is placed on top of it. The result is a replica of the functionality and the look of the original tooth. You don’t have to adjust to having it like you would with dentures. You don’t have to worry that it will come off when you speak or eat.
Another reason why dental implants are great in staving off dental aging is because they helps stimulate the jaw bones. As we lose our teeth, we become more susceptible to what is called jaw bone resorption. This happens when the body absorbs the jaw bones.

When the jaw bones no longer have a tooth to hold on to, they lose their purpose. Since they are no longer stimulated, they get reabsorbed by the body, hence the jaw bone loss. This changes the structure of your mouth. It even changes the structure of your face. People who succumb to jaw bone loss due to teeth loss tend to have shortened lower part of the face. Needless to say, you need your jawbones to make your face look youthful.
You can get dental implants as soon as you lose a permanent tooth. The longer you put off getting dental implants, the more likely you are to suffer from jaw bone resorption.

There are also other alternatives such as denture implants. If you suffer from multiple teeth loss, you can get dentures in specific areas of the mouth and use that to anchor the dentures. It has a similar effect to dentures, only your dentures are held in place by the implants.

Talk to a dentist from Belmont Dental Centre about the possibility of getting dentures. You might not have a pressing need for it because you only have one or two missing teeth, but addressing these early signs of dental aging can go a long way in preventing more significant issues in the future.
