Look your best with Dental Implants

By Dr. Andrade & Dr. Montalvo

Did you know that holding onto your pearly whites can keep you looking young? Just look at the illustration to see how losing your teeth can make you look much older. This is due to the fact that your teeth hold up your lips and chin. When teeth are missing, the chin drops down and the lips start to curl inward. When teeth are missing from the jaw, the jaw bone begins to “waste” away. This means that the more teeth you can hold onto, the more bone will be kept in the jaw. So, if you are missing teeth, you may still be able to replace them without loosing any further bone. This revolutionary way of keeping your bone intact is called the dental implant.

Dental implants have changed the way we treat missing teeth. You no longer have to wear uncomfortable dentures or have your healthy teeth drilled to get a bridge. Both of these methods of replacing teeth do not maintain your bone and will eventually lead to the old looking face and smile.

So, keep yourself looking and feeling young with dental implants.
