Missing teeth present obvious and easily seeen cosmetic issues. No one wants a gap in his smile. However, when you lose a tooth you are also at greatly increased risk of suffering significant dental health problems. That’s why it’s so crucial for patients in Las Vegas to ask about dental implants as soon as possible after losing teeth.

It’s easy to forget that your mouth is a complex, inter-connected system. Everything relates and connects to everything else. Problems with a single tooth aren’t contained there. And when you lose a tooth, the consequences can be felt by the rest of your mouth.
The crucial thing to keep in mind is that tooth loss is less about missing the specific tooth and more about bone loss. Teeth play crucial roles in maintaining the strength and density of your jawbone, which requires constant stimulation. Teeth provide that stimulation as a result of the constant contact their making with other teeth throughout the day.
So when you lose a tooth, your jawbone loses the stimulation it needs to maintain its density. And that can have devastating effects.
Those include:
Fortunately, Las Vegas dental implants prevent these issues. By fusing with the underlying bone tissue, the implants both support and are supported by your jaw, which means they play the same role as your natural teeth.
