Lost a Tooth? What’s the Big Deal?

It may seem like losing a tooth – especially one that’s not easily visible –  isn’t such a big deal. But did you know that there are several significant consequences to losing a tooth, especially to the orofacial complex, and to the shape of your face over time?

 The consequences include a loss of bone volume and density causing an acceleration of the appearance of facial aging, overloading and movement of the remaining teeth, which can increase the risk of bite disturbances, gum disease and tooth fractures. Additionally, there can be difficulties with chewing, speaking, smiling, and even an increased risk of further tooth losses. 

 There is a revolutionary solution to this age-old problem, which means after treatment your new tooth will appear and function similarly to your natural teeth.  Implant treatment has the potential to avoid many of the consequences listed above, and has a success rate of over 95%, making it one of the most successful dental treatments available.

 Dr Alex Ritchie is highly trained in all aspects of implant dentistry and uses state-of-the-art keyhole surgical techniques, which are minimally invasive and virtually pain-free. As always Alex’s top priority is patient comfort and safety, in addition to obtaining excellent outcomes.
