Dental Implants in Batavia, IL
A missing tooth is more than a matter of appearance. When you lose an adult tooth, it can cause health and comfort problems that need to be handled, such as:
- Bone loss in your jaw
- Changes to your ability to speak
- Changes to your bite
If it is not handled, your missing adult tooth can cause you pain or discomfort as you try to adjust your speech or chewing to make up for the missing tooth. Without an implant, you will also start to lose bone mass in your jaw, which can affect your appearance, as well.
Health Benefits of Dental Implants in Batavia IL
A dental implant is a metal post that an oral surgeon will place in your gums. This post takes over the job your tooth’s root had, which is to stimulate your jawbone and keep it healthy and strong. It also provides a solid base to which your new tooth can be attached.
Dr. Murphy recommends implants to his patients with missing adult teeth because they offer several health benefits:
- Helps maintain a healthy jaw and gums
- Restores the appearance of your smile
- Prevents your other teeth from shifting
- Allows you to chew and speak easily
- Prevents bone loss in your jaw
