Dental Implants for full teeth reconstruction

Dental Implant for full teeth reconstruction

• For many patients with missing teeth eating becomes a challenge, this is because after tooth loss they don’t replace it with either denture or dental implants.
• Most of the time even dentures don’t help them with proper chewing because of poor stability.
• At this point the patient starts taking semi solid soft foods, even with soft foods the gums and jaws work double the time to chew the food, this puts a negative impact on the gums and jaw bones.
• General health is greatly affected because of this, causing indigestion, stomach upset, loss of appetite etc.
• Eating without teeth puts you at a greater health risk  so replacing the missing teeth is very important for your oral and general health.
