All on 4 Dental Implants: Tooth Loss in the United StatesTheres nothing like a few shocking statistics to bring the reality of oral health and healthcare in the United States home. According to the Surgeon Generals Report on Health, by age 50, Americans have lost an average of 12 teeth, including the third molars.

The causes of tooth loss are varied, but most frequently, it is the result of tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease.

Dental implants can function as a replacement root for a tooth and serve as an anchor for a crown that will act as a normal tooth. If you are a candidate for an implant, your Azle family dentist can perform the procedure and your smile will be perfect once again.Implants: What Are They?Implants are synthetic structures that are inserted into the gums to serve as a replacement for the root of a tooth. They are attached to the jawbone and become anchors for an artificial tooth that is attached to the implant. Using an implant as opposed to dentures or a dental bridge acts as a more natural approach to fixing your teeth. They function just as a root does and if taken care of, can last an entire lifetime.
