Are you a patient in Southeast Texas who has recently lost a tooth or requires an extraction? You are probably thinking about your smile, searching for options online, and wondering about the future of your oral health.

We recommend that you speak to a dentist about your concerns so that you can learn more about the facts when it comes to dental implantsbridgesand dentures.

At Nederland Family Dental, we want you to know that we are here for you. We will patiently answer all your questions and help you find a solution that you feel comfortable with.

We often recommend the type of treatment we would want for ourselves and our loved ones. Oftentimes, we recommend dental implants. While many people think of dental implants as an esthetic solution to replacing a tooth that required extraction, dental implants have many more advantages than what you can see on the surface.

THE HIDDEN ADVANTAGE OF DENTAL IMPLANTS

Your face is the featured part of your identity and can play a big role in how you feel about yourself. What most people don’t know is that losing a tooth affects more than just your smile.

Your teeth are rooted in your jawbone and have a dependent relationship with that bone. Your tooth’s root stimulates that bone and keeps it healthy. When you lose a tooth, your bone begins to recede.

The chain reaction this can cause with your oral health includes additional tooth loss. Once begun, the cycle can be unstoppable.

If you have ever seen someone with missing teeth, you might notice that their facial features, especially on the lower half of their face, begin to look sunken. Their lips may curl in and their face is not as youthful looking or full. This is because teeth and bone are no longer there to support a full facial structure.

Dental implants are the only treatment option that stops the cycle of bone loss. Because dental implants integrate fully with your bone, they stimulate regeneration and protect your remaining teeth, as well as your appearance.

NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT 

Speaking of health, dental implants allow you to eat all the foods you love. That means that things like crunchy vegetables and fruits are not off limits, further supporting health, vitality, and youth. Not to mention the joy of eating!
