Tooth loss is a prevalent problem in the United States. The American College of Prosthodontics reports that at least 120 million people are missing at least one tooth while another 36 million do not have any natural teeth remaining. With each tooth playing a vital role in your oral health and functions, your quality of life will significantly decline when even one is lost. Not only will you develop difficulty chewing foods, speaking clearly, and lose your confidence, but there is a larger issue brewing beneath the surface. Untreated tooth loss will cause your jawbone’s density to decline; however, you now have an option to preserve it. Dental implants in Frisco will restore your smile while also preventing bone loss in the jaw.
