Dental implants are not cheap, but they’re far more affordable than the price of missing or infected teeth. The fact is that pressing on with missing and/or infected teeth can lead to serious, systemic health issues that are not only crippling financially, but also devastating to your physical well-being.
The cost of missing teeth
One of the most important functions performed by natural teeth is one that goes unseen: the stimulation of your bone and gum tissue. When an area of bone and gum tissue lacks a tooth root, it is no longer used being used as it’s intended to be. As a result, the area will deteriorate from lack of use, which can lead to bone loss, premature aging, and gum disease. Because dental implants act as natural tooth roots, aiding the form and function of your bone and gums, the benefits they can provide for your long-term health cannot be overestimated.
The cost of loose and infected teeth
When mature, natural teeth become loose, that means there is a major problem in the bone and/or gums, and that problem is almost always infection. Infected teeth are dangerous, not just to your oral health, but to your overall health as well. Oral infection can lead to major systemic diseases that include, but are not limited to:
- Stroke
- Heart attack
- Aspiration pneumonia
- Liver infection
- Brain, Kidney and Bone infection
- Hardening of the arteries
- Complications with diabetes
- Meningitis
The toll these issues can take on your body and quality of life are immeasurable, and the cost of the medical care necessary to deal with the above problems can be nothing short of catastrophic. Therefore, it’s very important that infected teeth be removed and, as previously mentioned, that the function of your mouth also be restored. Dental implants cannot decay, and they can therefore greatly reduce the risks of oral infection.
What is your smile worth?
While avoiding the health risks of missing and infected teeth is more than enough reason to choose dental implants, the price of your confidence when smiling and your ability to chew properly are priceless. Dental implants are simply the most comprehensive and effective method in dentistry for giving you new teeth and restoring the quality of your oral health.
