Replace Back Teeth with Dental Implants

Your molars help you chew properly and losing one of them can be bad. There are several things that happen when one is lost. One of the main issues that will present itself when a permanent molar is lost is that the alveolar bone within the jaw will begin to melt away. Unlike other bones in the body, this bone that supports your teeth needs to be stimulated to stay healthy. You might think it takes time for this to happen, but in reality as much as 25% of the bone density can be lost in the first year after losing one or more posterior teeth.
