You may be aware of the\nconsequences that gaps in your smile can bring to your appearance, but did you\nknow that it can also affect your health? Missing teeth can lead to\nmisalignment of existing teeth, jawbone deterioration, a sunken facial appearance,\nand even more tooth loss if they aren\u2019t replaced as soon as possible! And, not\nall tooth replacements are created equal. Keep reading to see why you should\nreplace your teeth with dental implants in Corpus Christi immediately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happens When I Lose Teeth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Missing teeth may affect your appearance, but they can\naffect your oral health even more. When you lose teeth, your jawbone loses the\nstimulation that it was receiving from them, which causes it to shrink and\ndeteriorate. This leads to an older appearance, a more sunken face, weaker\nbiting power, and additional tooth loss. Also, your teeth use each other as\nsupports, so when you lose even just one tooth, your remaining dental structure\ncan shift without the support that it once had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is My Best Option for Tooth Replacement?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the various replacement solutions, dental implants are\nthe only option that can prevent all of the problems that missing teeth can\ncause. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johnthompsondds.com\/dental-implants.html\">Dental\nimplants<\/a> are tiny titanium posts that are placed in your jawbone to act as\nartificial tooth roots. Titanium is biocompatible, so it fuses to your bone to\ncreate a permanent support for your restoration. Dental implants are the only\nreplacement solution that gives your jawbone the stimulation it needs to stay\nstrong and healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do Dental Implants Compare to Dentures?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dentures are the more traditional replacement method, which\nhas been used for hundreds of teeth to give patients their teeth back. However,\nbecause this replacement rests on top of your gums, it doesn\u2019t provide your\njawbone any stimulation. Because of this, many patients with traditional\ndentures suffer from jawbone deterioration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there is an option that combines dentures and dental\nimplants to give you the best of both worlds. Patients who are missing all or\nmost of their teeth can receive implant-retained dentures in Corpus Christi.\nThis allows your dentist to replace all of your teeth at once with the\nstability, security, and health benefits of dental implants that anchor your\nprosthesis to your jawbone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does it sound like dental implants are right for you?\nRemember time is of the essence, so contact your dentist to take your first\nstep towards a complete and healthy smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meet the Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. John T. Thompson is an experienced dentist who stays\nup-to-date on all of the latest dental techniques and technologies through\ncontinuing education courses. He understands the unique advantages that dental\nimplants have over other options, which is why he offers them at his practice.\nFor any questions, he can be contacted through his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johnthompsondds.com\/contact-us.html\">website<\/a> or by phone\nat (361) 242-3151. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you missing any teeth?
