Over 90% of the Vietnamese population experience dental issues, with tooth loss being the most significant concern affecting both health and aesthetics.
Many people become anxious when they notice that their face appears older than their actual age due to long-term tooth loss. The reason behind this is that the jawbone becomes resorbed, causing the face to sag and collapse inward. To prevent premature aging caused by tooth loss, the best course of action is to restore the missing teeth as soon as possible.
So, what is the best treatment option for those who have experienced tooth loss for a long time and are experiencing signs of facial aging?
1. Consequences of Tooth Loss
Regardless of the cause—whether it be accidents, poor oral care, or aging—losing teeth directly impacts chewing function, affecting digestion, nerve function in the mouth area, and jawbone resorption, resulting in diminished overall health and premature aging signs like sunken cheeks and increased facial wrinkles, making the face appear older than it actually is.
– When a tooth is lost, there will be an empty space at the position of the tooth’s root. Due to the lack of chewing force exerted by the tooth on the jawbone, bone resorption occurs, leading to facial imbalance.
– If not restored, this can cause facial muscles and skin to sag inward, further accentuating signs of aging.
– Moreover, individuals who have experienced tooth loss for an extended period may also experience reduced chewing force, leading to increased stress on the digestive system and potential gastrointestinal issues.
The most effective way to prevent the consequences of tooth loss is to promptly replace missing teeth.
2. Suitable Treatment Methods
Currently, there are three common techniques for restoring lost teeth: removable dentures, dental bridges, and dental implantation. Among these, dental implantation is the most modern and advanced method. Over the past 7 years, Le Anh Dental Center has successfully restored missing teeth for more than 10,000 customers.
Compared to dental bridges, many customers choose dental implantation for its superior advantages:
– First and foremost, the restored teeth will have a color identical to natural teeth, providing excellent aesthetics.
– Preservation of natural teeth, ensuring safety.
– Dental implants have a very long lifespan, even lasting a lifetime.
– They can withstand pressure well, allowing for efficient chewing like natural teeth.
– Prevents jawbone resorption, promoting a harmonious and balanced facial appearance, and prevents premature aging.
Dental restorations with porcelain crowns consist of three components: the tooth root, an abutment, and the porcelain crown. This design ensures a secure fit and eliminates the risk of dislodging during eating or speaking, unlike removable dentures.
