It is but natural that people with a full set of teeth live healthier lives than those with missing teeth. The more complete teeth you have, the better you will be able to chew your food and get better nutrition. You will also retain the shape of your mouth and face, and give you the confidence to speak well and show your smile. On the other hand, people with missing teeth have difficulty eating, speaking, and smiling. To restore their missing teeth, they would need to wear dentures and denture alternatives.

Dental implantsIt used to be that dentures were the only solution to replace teeth that were lost due to age or accident. With more options for dentures and denture alternatives, implant dentists like Dr. Joseph Tartagni at Shoreline Dental Care use dental implants for teeth restoration. Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed in your jawbone where it forms an artificial tooth root that can then support a crown, a denture, or a bridge. Dental implants provide strong, durable, and permanent teeth that look, feel, and function like your natural teeth.
