How important is it to replace lost teeth or restore the shape that for some reason is no longer the same?

Teeth are as important as any other part of the human body, as they have several functions that help us to have a healthy life. Besides being an important part of our personal appearance, teeth have functions in our diet, in our body posture, in our mental health, and the loss of just one of them can create an imbalance that can lead to physical ailments. Sometimes people believe that because they have many teeth in their mouth, losing one or two or three teeth will not make a difference, but they are very wrong, because losing a tooth is like being mutilated and everything possible must be done to replace it.

Waiting until you have lost several teeth to decide to start treatment can make the treatment increasingly complex and more expensive. If, on the other hand, we give each tooth the importance it deserves and gradually replace each affected tooth, it will be easier and cause fewer problems in the future.

Dental implants are a very useful tool to achieve this replacement, as they will replace the lost root and then replace the lost crown and achieve muscular and skeletal balance and maintain masticatory efficiency to have good digestion that avoids more serious health problems. In people who for some reason do not have teeth in their mouth, they can be used to avoid removable dentures that can lead to irritation in the mucosa and discomfort for basic functions such as eating, smiling and speaking.

Dental implants are definitely a solution for many dental problems that can occur at any age. Although permanent implants are not recommended for growing people, there are temporary or transitional implants that can be used while the growth and bone maturation stage is completed.
