Options for Maximum Oral Health

Losing teeth can cause lasting problems for an individual. The pockets become refuges for trapped food particles, the person’s ability to chew and thus digest food is hindered, and the remaining teeth must work harder to chew, increasing their rate of erosion. For many years, the only other options available were dentures or partial dentures. Recent advancements in technology though, have now given patients another option – the dental implant. Dental implants function just like regular teeth. They need no maintenance other than normal oral hygiene, and are permanently affixed, unlike dentures.
