I Was Really Unhappy With The Way My Smile Looked
If you’re struggling with the many repercussions of extensive tooth loss, All-on-X full mouth dental implants will restore your smile and ability to chew food properly. Thanks to technological advances, we can replace a full arch of teeth with as few as four strategically placed dental implants per arch.
After receiving full mouth dental implants, we’ll provide temporary teeth that enable eating more food and speaking without fear of embarrassing moments. Unlike dentures, dental implants act as tooth roots and stimulate the underlying jawbone, helping prevent bone loss and undesirable facial changes.
Jaw growth is a gradual process, so the upper and lower jaws can grow at different rates. In addition, injury to the jaw and birth defects can impact jaw alignment. Regardless of the cause, jaw misalignment can affect chewing function and speech. Aside from oral function, misalignment of the upper and lower jaw can cause the chin to appear too big (protruding) or too small (weak chin).
Orthodontics alone can correct bite problems when only your teeth are involved. But when jaw repositioning is required, corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) in Medical Center, Houston, TX, at Houston Methodist Hospital, is the best option to create a more harmonious relationship and deliver both functional and cosmetic improvements.
Also called third molars, wisdom teeth usually appear between the ages of 17 to 25. In most cases, inadequate space in the mouth doesn’t allow wisdom teeth to erupt properly and become fully functional. Insufficient space can cause discomfort, infection, or damage to existing teeth.
Ideally, wisdom teeth should be removed before the full development of teeth and their root structure to prevent complications. The ideal time is when you’re a teenager or in your early 20s. Wisdom tooth extraction helps ensure that the rest of your teeth stay healthy and your mouth remains infection-free.
