Tooth loss left untreated for an extended period can wreak havoc on your aesthetics and confidence; however, once permanent prosthetics are in place, you can begin to feel good about the way you look. Keep reading to learn how these titanium tooth replacements can change how you see yourself.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happens to Your Face When Tooth Loss Occurs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regardless of whether you lose one tooth or an entire arch of teeth, tooth loss can begin to affect your facial appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since there is no tooth root to stimulate the underlying jawbone, the bone will begin to deteriorate over time. As a result, you will notice sunken cheeks, a drooping mouth, and more defined jowls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, you may appear much older than you are and become more self-conscious about how you look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can Dental Implants Create a Youthful Appearance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental implants help fill the gaps left by missing teeth and immediately restore your appearance, creating a more supple, youthful look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once these titanium posts are placed within your jawbone and fuse with the surrounding tissues, you will notice over time that they help fill out your face, helping you avoid facial collapse, which is common among individuals with tooth loss or those who wear dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They will also prevent further tooth loss and keep all natural teeth in their proper place instead of shifting out of alignment. You\u2019ll appreciate the stimulation they provide to your jawbone, helping it remain stable and sturdy and providing adequate support for your new teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once everything is fully healed, you\u2019ll walk around with a complete smile that boosts your confidence and appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although there are other tooth replacement options, dentures and dental bridges will not last forever. While you may need to have your restoration replaced, your titanium implants are built to last a lifetime, so choose the solution that will help you enjoy a beautiful, functional smile longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Grand Dental \u2013 Oz Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental implants continue to provide patients with a new lease on life.
