While some people are gifted with a perfect set of teeth, most people will have at least a few crooked, misplaced, or unattractive teeth that may cause them embarrassment or shame. In some cases, even people with beautiful teeth with undergo some sort of trauma or medical condition that causes damage to their teeth. When this happens, there are many methods a cosmetic or general dentist may use to correct damage and improve the overall look of teeth. However, in some cases, teeth may be too badly damaged or diseased to save, and they may need to be removed and replaced by an artificial option such as Implants in Elk Grove Village.
There are many ways that a person may end up with missing teeth. The force of a serious car accident or other types of unexpected injuries can knock otherwise healthy teeth out entirely. Oral disease or decay can cause teeth to crumble or fall out on their own, or a dentist at Schumer Family Dental Care may have to extract them if there is no hope for improvement in their condition. Missing teeth can cause the remaining teeth to shift in the gums and become misaligned or crooked, so it is important to take steps to replace them before further trouble arises.
Implants are generally regarded as the best option for replacing missing teeth. While dentures have been in use longer and are less expensive, implants offer much better results and can be used for a single tooth as well as many. Implants are also surgically placed in the gums, so they are not able to fall out or come loose as dentures often do. Implants also look more natural and attractive than any dentures may appear. All of these reasons and more make implants the best choice for tooth replacement.
When adults loose their permanent teeth due to disease or injury, it is important to act fast to replace them. Remaining teeth may shift and cause further issues if there are gaps from missing teeth. Implants in Elk Grove Village provide the most natural and long-lasting solution when it comes to replacing missing teeth.
