Missing teeth is much more than just an aesthetic issue. Knocked out or lost teeth can happen for a number of reasons, but they can cause serious changes to your oral anatomy, especially your jaw bone. The root of the tooth plays an essential role in stimulating the jaw bone in which it is located.

Dental implants are a leading choice for tooth restorations because of their durability and longevity, especially when compared to alternative tooth replacement options available on the market today. While it’s true that implants offer superior performance, there are situations where implants may experience early failure or break.

Dental implants in Oshawa are incredibly popular among patients looking to restore missing teeth. The process of getting dental implants starts with a reputable periodontist in Oshawa, like Dr. Adam Ohayon, who will help you understand your eligibility and proceed with the procedure when you're ready.

Despite being considered one of the most reliable and widely applicable tooth restoration options, one of the criteria for dental implants is sufficient bone density. Patients looking to see a local periodontist in Whitby who have been diagnosed with Osteoporosis may wonder where this leaves them.

Just like other parts of the body, your bones are continually replacing old bone mass through the process of resorption and replacing it with new bone through the process of ossification. After tooth loss, bone loss happens at an increased rate because the jaw bone is no longer being stimulated by a tooth root.

Dental implants are an impressive tooth replacement option because, unlike dentures, which use adhesive materials or bridges, which anchor onto neighbouring teeth, dental implants are placed directly into the bone, enabling better stability, continued bone stimulation, and easier maintenance. But because implants need to be placed into the bone, you must have sufficient bone density for the...

Most of us consider the visible part of the tooth (the crown) when we think about our teeth. But, there is more to our smiles than what meets the eye. Below the gumline is the tooth root, a critical part of our anatomy, responsible for securing the tooth in place and more. When your tooth is knocked out, or you lose a tooth as an adult, the tooth root can become knocked out and cause some trouble...
