Preventing Facial Sagging and Other Tooth Loss Consequences with Dental Implants

    BEVERLY HILLS, CA, May 26, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Beverly Hills dental Implant expert, Dr. Kevin Sands, offers individual and full mouth dental implants to replace lost teeth. Tooth loss affects about half of people over 35. While the loss of a tooth can be distressing, it is so common that most people give it little thought if the lost tooth is not a visible tooth. This can be a serious mistake. Losing teeth can have dire consequences for a person's physical and dental health and may reduce his or her quality of life.

Consequences of Tooth Loss

- Premature facial aging, including wrinkling, collapsing and sagging skin and facial features
- Bone loss
- Malocclusion
- Speech defects
- Abnormal wear and damage to remaining teeth
- TMJ disorders
- Difficulty eating fibrous foods
- Tooth decay
- Hyper-eruption of teeth
- Periodontal disease

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dr. Sands uses implants as the most natural alternative to real teeth. Implants consist of a biocompatible root that fuses with the jawbone and porcelain restorations. Multiple dental implants are often used when multiple teeth are missing while single implants can be used to replace individual teeth. Implants restore the appearance of teeth and maintain proper spacing. However, they also maintain the structural integrity of the jawbone, which keeps the facial features balanced and proportionate. When implants have been placed, there will be no premature sagging or collapsing of facial features.

The cost of dental implants may be covered partly or fully by some dental insurance plans. Financing and other payment options are also available.
