Dr. Latner Restores Functionality and Appearance with Dental Implants

March 26, 2012

When you lose a tooth due to accident, injury, or tooth decay, you may feel self-conscious about your smile. Traditional options like crowns, bridges, and dentures can help you restore your smile’s appearance. What they can’t replace is your missing root.

Why is Replacing a Missing Root Important?

Because your tooth roots stimulate the growth of new bone tissue, keeping your jaw strong. Without your root, your jaw can begin to atrophy, and further tooth loss can occur. Dental implants prevent this by replacing...
