Why is it important to replace missing teeth?
Replacing the missing teeth is important from aesthetic and medical reasons. The decreased ability to chew, the change of the occlusion of the teeth may lead to the appearance of several illnesses, digestion problems, regular headaches and tiredness. Aesthetic reasons are also important. The awareness of "an ugly" smile can also cause psychological problems.
Smile is very important.
There are several alternatives to replace missing teeth. One of the most common solutions is the implantation which involves the insertion of artificial roots as a basis for crowns and bridges (for further information see implantation). The advantages of an implant are: No teeth on either side have to be prepared for bridge supporting pillars, so there is no grinding on "good teeth" - we just fix the missing tooth. An implant is fixed and feels just like your own teeth.
