Edentulous (without teeth) patients struggle personally and professionally. Simple daily activities such as eating, speaking, and laughing are suddenly less comfortable and simple than they were before. Many patients we see find themselves nervous about meeting new people, speaking in public, or smiling for family photos. Even denture wearers dread eating in public for fear their prosthetic may shift or come out completely. At 21st Century Dental & Sleep Center, we offer a more stable, comfortable alternative – All-on-Four dental implants.

The General Dentist Irving, TX Trusts to Provide Superior Crown & Bridge Replacement
September 1, 2015
For patients missing one or more teeth, the worst dental health consequences may not be obvious right away. Some people choose to live with the mild embarrassment of having a missing tooth due to expense or to avoid discomfort, but the most detrimental effects of missing teeth are the unseen consequences taking place below the gum line. Teeth support the health of gum tissue, and stimulate bone density preservation and development. When teeth are missing, soft tissue and bone deteriorate over time. As this deterioration occurs, surrounding teeth shift to fill in spaces leaving the entire smile compromised by one missing tooth. As jawbone density decreases, this prevents the future option of ever getting an implant due to inadequate bone support. Shifting occlusion due to missing teeth can lead to TMJ disorder, especially in patients who clench or grind the teeth. Cosmetically, multiple missing teeth cause facial sagging or caving in, and leave unsightly gaps in smiles. Whether you’re missing one tooth or a full arch, the experts at 21st Century Dental recommend replacing your teeth to maintain oral health. Call to schedule a smile consultation at our convenient Irving, TX dental practice today.
