If you do have a gap, you\u2019re in luck. You live in a time where dental technology can fix you up with a <a href=\"http:\/\/webpro.us\/dev\/green\/cosmetic-dentistry\/dental-implants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dental implant<\/a>, which looks and feels exactly like a real tooth. It\u2019s as if you never lost a tooth at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The implant is not actually the part that looks like a tooth; it is a titanium screw-like post that interfaces with your jaw bone. The implant serves as a base to support a prosthetic tooth. Two implants can be installed to support a bridge of multiple prosthetic teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental implants not only improve the appearance of your smile, as they maintain a strong profile as well. You have a jawbone for a reason: to support your teeth. When you have a missing tooth the jawbone underneath weakens, losing its firmness and eventually physically deteriorating. Other missing tooth fixes such as crowns only cover up what\u2019s missing on the surface, so you still get bone loss. Dental implants replace the root as well as the visible tooth, preventing bone loss.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"345\" src=\"http:\/\/webpro.us\/dev\/green\/wp-content\/uploads\/Green-Dental-Implant.jpg\" alt=\"Dental implants prevent bone loss\" class=\"wp-image-227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/webpro.us\/dev\/green\/wp-content\/uploads\/Green-Dental-Implant.jpg 450w, https:\/\/webpro.us\/dev\/green\/wp-content\/uploads\/Green-Dental-Implant-300x230.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vanity is not the only reason to get a dental implant. When you lose bone in one part of your jaw all the teeth in your mouth become looser and more prone to infection. A strong jaw is a healthy jaw, and if you\u2019re missing teeth you can\u2019t have a strong jaw without replacing them with dental implants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unless you\u2019re a little kid or a hockey player, having a missing tooth is not a good look.
