Though it may not be the first choice for most patients, dental extraction actually contains a number of benefits. Indeed, our ultimate goal is to preserve your natural structures, but sometimes, infection and disease may have other plans. In fact, some forms of significant infection may be so uncontrollable that mitigating the issue at the source is the best option. In today’s blog, your Conroe, TX dentist explains how our team can help restore your smile’s appearance and function following a tooth extraction with the help of dental implants.

A Need for Replacement

It goes without saying that, in order to ensure your smile lasts a lifetime, you require some base form of dental support. This is where your preventive dental routine comes in to play, as it provides the protection and support needed to fend off a host of bacteria, germs, diseases, and more. Indeed, our team recommends a combination of in-house treatment – such as your checkups and cleanings – and at-home care in the form of brushing, flossing, and utilizing mouthwash.

Even still, certain concerns can be difficult to identify early on, and if you are not on top of your routine 100 percent of the time, there is a good chance that these issues can influence your health without your knowledge. In cases such as these, we often see bacterial infection and significant progression occur before treatment is sought.

Keep in mind that even if a structure is removed to offset bacterial spread, the bacteria that contributed to the issue may still be present. What’s more? You will run into functional complications if you leave the gap in your smile, and as such, we recommend having the structure replaced. Give our team a call today to learn more about this process.

Supporting Bite Pressure

As we mentioned before, your smile serves an important role in helping you perform day-to-day functions, including biting, chewing, and eating. To do this, your teeth roots create a secure connection to the jawbone, allowing for structural stability that supports your bite’s pressure.

As you can imagine, when one or more roots are absent, this throws off your bite and your other structures must accommodate for the missing ones. Fortunately, implant dentistry has you covered, as the biocompatible posts serve as artificial roots. Contact our team today to learn more.

Restoring Health and Function

The last thing our team wants is for you to lose a natural tooth, but in the event it occurs, it is important you understand why you need to have the structure replaced. These include more than just cosmetic benefits, but functional and health ones as well.
