By replacing your missing teeth, you can speak clearer and enjoy more of the foods you used to eat.<\/p>\n<p>But those aren\u2019t the only two reasons you should replace your missing teeth. When you have missing teeth, you\u2019re also missing the roots that anchored them to your jaw. Those roots served the important job of promoting bone growth. When one or more roots are missing, the jaw will lose bone tissue. Over time, if enough tissue is lost, you may lose any remaining teeth you have.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dental implants<\/strong> can help prevent this. That\u2019s because they come with a \u201cprosthetic root\u201d made of titanium, which is a biocompatible metal. These \u201croots\u201d will bond with the tissue in your jaw over time and promote new bone growth. The result is not just a full smile, but a full smile with a firm, natural foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to know if <strong>dental implants<\/strong> are right for you? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimplantdentist.com\/about-us.html\">Dr. Banda<\/a> would be happy to consult with you.
