Look and Feel Natural
Dental implants are replacement tooth roots. Implants provide a strong foundation for fixed (permanent) or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth.
Dangers of Partials and Bridges
There are several disadvantages of choosing a partial denture or bridge instead of dental implants.
- Risk of jaw bone atrophy
- Increased risk of needing a tooth extraction
- Discomfort and looseness
- Difficulty eating and speaking properly
- Tooth sensitivity
- Higher risk of root canal therapy and tooth decay
- Increased risk of losing more teeth
70 % of Adults Have Lost at Least One Tooth
By the time they reach the age of 44 years, approximately 70% of adults in the United States will have lost at least one of their permanent teeth.
What Causes Tooth Loss?
Tooth loss may be the result of trauma to the mouth, periodontal disease, or even tooth decay.
Real Advantages of Dental Implants
Postponing treatment by not getting a tooth extraction on time, or neglecting your missing teeth, can have a significant impact on your oral health — and can have serious long-term consequences.

The Domino Effect
Many people do not realize that a single missing tooth from a tooth extraction, tooth decay, or an injury can cause a domino effect of changes in the mouth, including additional tooth loss. Since your teeth work together as a unit, losing a single tooth can put strain and pressure on remaining teeth. This can cause wear and tear, tooth damage, and shifting of the tooth. Misalignment can increase your risk of gum problems, tooth decay, and periodontal disease.
If you end up with several missing teeth, you may have complications such as:
- Impaired mastication - It can be difficult to chew certain foods and enjoy your favorite foods. This can compromise your nutrition and may result in weight loss, indigestion, and other health problems.
- Bone loss - If the bone collapses underneath the area where the tooth is missing, you may experience changes in your facial structure and need to have a bone graft before placing dental implants.
- Bite breakdown - Your back teeth can wear down as you get older and the extra strain on the teeth in general can cause a vertical collapse of the facial structure.
- Deformity - Even if the missing tooth is in the back of the mouth, you may have significant bone loss that affects facial contours and creates a deformity of the face or smile.
Dental implants are the preferred option for replacing missing teeth over partial dentures and bridges. For more information about dental implants in Newport, TN and East Tennessee or to have a tooth extraction before placing implants:
