How Bad Can A Lost Tooth Be?

September 19, 2020

Lost teeth happen to a lot of people. But one missing tooth can’t be that bad, right? Unfortunately, many people have believed that. Then they came to see us when they discovered how quickly things could change.

First the tooth, then the bone

When you lose a tooth, you lose stimulation from the root, that part of your jaw could lose up to 25 percent of its bone mass within 12 months. Even if you replace the missing tooth with a traditional bridge, the bone loss can still occur.

Making a shift

As you are losing bone mass below the gumline, your remaining teeth can start to drift into the open space. This can affect your smile, change your bite, and may affect what you can eat. This also puts you at risk of losing more teeth over time. And when you are missing more teeth, the problems mentioned above become exponentially worse.

Act early to protect your healthy smile

By getting a dental implant as part of your tooth replacement you can avoid those problems and protect your smile for the long term. Implant replacements provide the necessary stimulation to prevent bone loss. With an implant-supported crown or bridge (depending on how many teeth need to be replaced), you also can stop the rest of your teeth from drifting.

In other words, you should talk to our team at New Albany Implants in New Albany, IN to rebuild your smile and keep it intact. Fill out our online form or call 888-469-3982 now to make your appointment soon.

Dr. Receveur and his staff makes me feel like I’m coming home every time I walk in the door. The money I have paid is nothing compared to the service and care that you get here. From the very first day, even though I was late, the receptionist, Mayana welcomed me with a smile and treated me so nice. I was welcomed and I have been treated so nice. I have been to 5 different places before this and everyone else said that nothing could be done. Other offices took scans and never sat down to explain anything to me. Dr Receveur took the time to actually show me my scan and explained everything, step by step. Denise has paid attention every detail that i have had concerns with. She is my person! Now I have the teeth of my dreams! Thank you so much for everything!!!

I’m the type of person that is scared of the dentist have been my whole life. I scheduled consultation with Dr Ron and he answered all my questions and more. He and his staff are great they made me feel comfortable the whole time. They used sedation for my implant procedure and it was the best decision I have ever made!! I had zero pain whatsoever. The best thing is that they have gave me the ability to smile again and to be happy. Thank you to everyone at New Albany Implants. I recommend them to anyone needing dental implants.

Amazing experience. If anyone is anxious about seeing a dentist I can assure you don’t have to be with Dr. Receveur. My only regret is not having it done sooner. His staff is pretty awesome too.
