Implant Dentistry for Missing Teeth in Chula Vista

Why Missing Teeth Are a “Silent” Health Risk

When a tooth is lost, the jawbone underneath it begins to “melt away” (atrophy) because it no longer receives stimulation from chewing. This can lead to:

  • Facial Collapse: A “sunken” appearance that makes you look older than you are.

  • Shifting Teeth: Neighbors lean into the gap, causing bite issues and potential TMJ pain.

  • Increased Decay: Gaps are harder to clean, often leading to gum disease in the remaining teeth.

The Implant Dentistry Advantage

Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that actually saves your jawbone. By mimicking the natural root, permanent dental implants stop bone loss in its tracks.
