Frequently Asked Questions
Reasons to replace your missing teeth with implants:
Appearance:
People notice the clean, white and wholesome appearance of crowns that are supported by dental implants. If teeth were not straight before, they will be straight after having dental implants.
Health:
With missing teeth, the tendency is to eat foods that are easy to chew. For the most part, those foods are starches and high carbohydrates. That leads to weight gain (obesity) and malnutrition.
Improved Chewing:
There are some folks who can eat a steak with no teeth. However, they only partly chew before swallowing and their food is not completely digested leading to poor nutrition. Animals in the wild die if they lose their teeth.
