One of the biggest dental crises that a person hopes to never face is losing their teeth. Losing just one tooth will have negative consequences for your smile and everybody would agree that a missing tooth is not an attractive thing. Not only does missing teeth have an awful impact on the aesthetic appearance of a person's teeth but it also has serious health repercussions. A missing tooth creates conditions that can lead to further tooth loss. This is because the human teeth evolve under the assumption that they will always remain a complete set of teeth. When a tooth becomes missing, the adjacent teeth overcompensates for this missing space, eventually growing crooked.
Nobody wants to lose a tooth but if this situation were to arise then there are still options open to you. One of these options is obtaining dental implants. Dental implants are a popular dental procedure that is designed to replace missing teeth. Under this procedure, a dentist replaces a missing tooth with an artificial tooth root that is surgically placed directly into the jawbone. After this dental implant has healed, the dentist is then able to attach either a bridge or replacement tooth, depending on what the patient wants. The result of obtaining dental implants is that a person is able to appear to have a healthy, full set of teeth. Not only that, but dental implants also helps prevent further tooth decay.
In Sacramento, Dr. Alfred Osolin, D.D.S. has been helping patients for years receive the cosmetic dental treatment that the desire. Dental implants are among the most popular of his cosmetic dental procedures and his reputation for performing this procedure is exemplary.
