Whether you have one tooth missing, several or a complete set, Dr Brown and the team at Timberline Dental are passionate about restoring not only the teeth of our patients, but their self-confidence too!
When you lose teeth, the bone in your jaw that supported them starts to shrink. The sockets recede, and over time the bone gets smaller and smaller. For many people, this results in a sunken-faced look that could easily have been avoided.
Not only does the bone shrink, but as that process continues, it can result in the shifting of your teeth, leading to a domino effect of tooth loss. While dental restorations like bridges can slow the shifting of teeth, they don’t prevent bone loss and eventually can still result in the same troubles.
Dental implants are able to stop bone loss by replacing the lost roots of your teeth. This means that the bone won’t shrink, and you’ll be saving the rest of your teeth as well! By providing a lasting, positive result, dental implants can improve your self-esteem and confidence in your smile and your oral health.
