When decay and dental issues become passed a point of repair, patient’s must consider the unfortunate decision to remove their teeth. Tooth decay can not only effect patients smile, but it can cause severe damage to the rest of our body.
‍
Recent studies done at Harvard School of Dental Medicine, the alma mater of our lead Doctor Dr. José Beltrán, concluded that one in five adults over the age of 65 have untreated tooth decay. The bacteria causing this decay in the mouth can cause life-threatening complications if left untreated.

Patients who suffer from dental decay are more likely to have high blood pressure, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and or osteoporosis - although it's not directly proven that dental decay causes these ailments. Therefore, it is critical to maintain good oral health.

Removing the teeth badly effected by dental decay is a start to getting back to good health. However, the usual way of replacing this newly-missing-tooth is the traditional denture that reduce our chewing force drastically.

Natural teeth allow for up to 540 pounds of force per square inch, making it a breeze to chew into apples, corn on the cob, and steaks! Dentures, on the other hand, can only accommodate approximately 50 pounds of force per square inch.

Patients begin to despise the artificial teeth that slip and slide in their mouth and prohibit them from enjoying life the way they could before. Eventually the sorrow sets in for these individuals of feeling like they will never be able to eat the foods they loved or live a lifestyle that they are comfortable with.

But fear not, there is a solution to the woes of dentures and its found with the tremendous success of Dental Implants!
