Your teeth are held in place by roots and surrounding teeth. This means that when you lose one tooth, you’re more at risk for losing subsequent teeth. The best way to stop tooth loss from getting worse is to ask your dentist if you’re a candidate for the dental implant procedure. Dental implants prevent further tooth loss by supporting nearby teeth. By giving the other teeth in your smile, something to lean on, they’re less likely to become loose and fall out. At DentArt Chicago, our dental implant dentists can help you explore your tooth replacement options so you can smile with confidence. Contact us to schedule an appointment.
