If you are middle-aged or older, you are probably beginning to see unsettling changes in your body. You may be taking extra steps to keep your skin moisturized, manage your weight, and maintain muscle tone. Have you thought about what lies deeper? Facial bone diminishes with age, a process dramatically accelerated by missing teeth. Implant dentist, Dr. Olivia Hart, has the expertise to help patients in and near Glen Allen maintain youthful bone structure.
No matter how lovely your complexion or how bright your eyes, you look older when facial bone shrinks. Without this vital substructure:
Tooth loss allows remaining teeth to shift out of position, resulting in:
Natural tooth roots stimulate strong, dense bone each time you bite down. A dental implant resides in the jaw, replicating a tooth root, and providing similar stimulation. Over time, bone fuses securely with the implant, providing support for a dental crown, bridge, or denture. Each time you chew, the implant helps to maintain facial bone, for more youthful appearance and normal function.
Dr. Hart had advanced training and a wealth of experience in dental implant planning, placement, and restoration. Through every stage of the process, she takes a biological approach, using only the safest available materials and methods for your unique body chemistry. With this level of personalized attention, her implant success rate is quite high.
