Teeth Problems? How About Implants?

It can be said that every problem has its cause. In addition, the way to solve a problem can vary depending on the cause. However, dental problems may be an exception.

Why is that? Let’s take a look at the various cases of tooth loss and their solutions.

Case 1: Tooth loss due to diabetes - K’s story

K had been living with diabetes for more than 10 years and developed gum disease because of it. Although treatment was received, problems kept occurring with the teeth, and in the end the teeth had to be extracted. Unfortunately, one of the teeth lost was highly visible, causing stress every time K looked in the mirror.

Case 2: Tooth loss due to an accident - L’s experience

L, who enjoys motorcycles, recently had a minor traffic accident. The accident ended with only minor damage, but when the face hit the ground, a tooth broke and fell out.

Case 3: Unable to use dentures - M’s difficulty

M, who is over 70, was no longer able to wear the dentures he had used for a long time. As a result of long-term denture use, gum problems developed, which made it impossible to keep using the dentures. Without dentures, even eating food became difficult.

Implants - the best solution for a variety of situations

An expert says, "Although the causes of tooth loss vary, implant treatment can be the best solution to all of these problems."

There are several options for prosthetic treatment, but implant treatment has been widely used in recent years. Dentures have weak biting force, which limits eating and makes maintenance cumbersome. Bridges, on the other hand, require the removal of neighboring teeth, which is a burden.

However, implants are placed directly in the area where the tooth was lost, and they provide strong biting force. Not only are there almost no restrictions when eating, but there is also no need to remove neighboring teeth.

Recently, the number of patients who want implant surgery has increased regardless of age. Among the prosthetic treatments available, implants are the most suitable.

The causes of tooth loss may vary, but they can be addressed with implant treatment alone. If you want to regain dental health, it is a good idea to review the condition of your teeth and consider implant treatment if necessary.
