Offering a reinvigorating way to fill the gaps left behind by missing teeth, these prosthetics offer unprecedented benefits, one of which is the potential to live a longer life. Read on to discover how pivotal dental implants can be when considering overall longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Declining Wellness: How Does Tooth Loss Play a Role?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Researchers have spent decades studying the link between tooth loss and problems that form throughout a person\u2019s body. Cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, malnutrition, and even cognitive decline are all potential health risks that can shorten a person\u2019s life expectancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tooth loss is known to cause jawbone resorption \u2013 the weakening of the underlying bone \u2013 and an increased risk of gum disease, which can heighten the likelihood of developing any of the above-mentioned conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The infection that occurs when you combine gum disease and tooth loss can easily enter the bloodstream and wreak havoc on the body, causing heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, and more. These unhealthy changes can eventually take their toll, effectively reducing how long a person might live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can Dental Implants Extend a Person\u2019s Lifespan?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the conversations a patient can expect to have with their prosthodontist is the potential to enjoy a longer lifespan by choosing dental implants to replace their missing teeth. Although other forms of treatment are less expensive and offer beautiful aesthetics, they pale in comparison to the full root-to-crown restorative benefits provided by dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not only does their placement within the jawbone help preserve this area of the mouth and face by preventing facial sagging and keeping teeth adequately supported, but they also improve oral and overall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The stability these prosthetics provide creates a stronger bite force, so patients can eat a wide variety of nutritious foods. They boost confidence, which can reduce feelings of sadness and depression; instead, replacing them with joy and reassurance. Dental implants also minimize the potential for bone and tooth loss by continuing to stimulate the underlying jawbone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you consider the benefits dental implants provide, they become an obvious choice for tooth replacement if you want to enhance and extend your quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About the Author<\/strong><br>Dr. Mounir Iskandar is a dental implant dentist in Irving who is considered a surgical prosthodontist and implantologist.
