Sep 02, 2015 /prREACH/ -- Leesburg, VA cosmetic dentist, Dr. Ron Buro, is encouraging adult patients who have experienced tooth loss to consider the benefits that dental implants will have for the preservation of their remaining teeth as well as their bone health. Although dental implants have become a popular treatment option for patients due to their aesthetic and functional benefits, they also play a key role in maintaining the health and vitality of the surrounding teeth, bone, and gum tissues.
When a permanent tooth is lost due to injury, decay, or other health problems, the surrounding bone and tissues where the tooth once was begin to shrink because they are not being utilized. This shrinkage, referred to as resorption, can then spread to surrounding areas, risking the health of surrounding teeth, bone, and gum tissues. In the long term, permanent tooth loss can lead to more permanent teeth falling out. However, dental implants are the only restorative treatment currently available that helps to maintain or even restore gum and bone health.
Dental implants mimic the function of the root of a natural tooth. When the tooth or dental implant is present, the surrounding jaw bone, gum, and tissues remain active and healthy, working to support the tooth structure. Though dental implants are designed with titanium, it actually creates a natural bond to the jawbone and offers an almost identical structure to the natural tooth root.
When patients are missing just one permanent tooth, a single dental implant can prevent bone and gum resorption from spreading and affecting the health of surrounding teeth. When patients are missing a series of teeth or entire top and bottom arches of teeth, dental implants can help maintain bone structure not only to support the teeth, but also to prevent the “sunken in” look of the mouth that patients missing all of their teeth often have due to bone resorption.
Dr. Buro has extensive experience with dental implants and has helped hundreds of patients restore their smile using these latest advances in dental technology. Dental implants offer significant advantages over other restorative prosthetics such as dentures or bridges because they provide patients with full function of their mouth and the ability to eat whatever they please. Dental implants can also be brushed and flossed just like normal teeth.
With more than four decades of experience as a dental practitioner, Dr. Buro is one of the most experienced professionals in the local area. He has been named as one of the 50 best dental practitioners by The Washingtonian and received numerous other awards and recognitions for his outstanding work in the dental industry.
