Dental Implant Specialist in New Jersey Explains That Teeth Replacement Isn't Always Better Than Teeth Treatment

Online, December 25, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Dental implants are regarded by dental healthcare professionals and establishments around the world to be the most sophisticated solution to missing teeth. Whether a patient has lost one tooth to localized decay or an accident, or all of them to the damage done by periodontal (gum) disease, dental implants can be used to provide New Jersey residents with a brand new, beautiful smile and functional bite.

But just because there exists a sophisticated and widely available teeth replacement solution on the market, does not mean that our teeth can suddenly be regarded as dispensable. Tooth loss is still a major problem in the United States and what Dr. Vincent Novelli, an experienced dental implant surgeon in New Jersey, takes the time to point out is that even dental implants cannot truly rival the sophistication of your own biological technology.

The Importance of Natural Teeth

If we had to provide a suitable analogy, consider the wheels of your car. They are absolutely essential for the car to work. If one tire has blown or is removed, the car cannot get from A to B. Your teeth are just as essential to your quality of life… they are a fundamental component of your digestive system and, considering how important your smile is to your ability to communicate, both verbally and non-verbally, they play an integral role in social confidence.

The difference between the wheels of the car and your teeth is that a blown tire can easily be replaced with another just-as-good tire. Once your natural teeth have emerged, you only have one set to last you a lifetime. Should you then lose a tooth, you are compelled to fall back on the available teeth replacement technologies. Luckily, dental implants offer New Jersey residents a great solution to a lost tooth or many missing teeth.

"The point to remember is this," says New Jersey dental implants surgeon, Dr. Vincent Novelli. "You should do your very best to care for your natural teeth, because your biological technology is better, and more sophisticated, than any teeth replacement device on the market. While dental implants are reliable, keeping your natural teeth is always the better option. This is why we do everything we can to save diseased teeth rather than simply opting to extract them."

Tooth Extraction is a Pervasive and Problematic Treatment Approach

Extraction is a common and problematic approach to dental treatment and one that countless Americans have fallen back on over the decades. Instead of opting for dental treatment of a diseased, infected or decayed tooth, they tell their dentist to pull it. While this may address immediate problems such as pain, in the long term, it does irreversible damage to one's dentition. In a staggering number of cases, problematic teeth can be treated with procedures such as root canal therapy, which is, ironically, cheaper than having a tooth pulled and replaced with a dental implant! Moreover, a treated tooth can sometimes last longer and look better than a dental implant replacement tooth.

"It is always our priority to provide treatment for conditions that are causing the teeth to become compromised, such as decay and gum disease," says the dental implants specialist in New Jersey. "If all attempts to save a tooth fail, then dental implants step up to the plate as the very best next thing for a patient's oral health and quality of life. But until that day, the right treatment, a thorough home oral hygiene routine and regular maintenance are certainly the better option."

The Moral of the Story

Always seek treatment for a problematic tooth. If your dentist tells you he or she wants to extract it, seek a second opinion. Your natural teeth are far more sophisticated and durable than any teeth replacement technology and treating conditions such as decay or gum disease is often cheaper than paying for dental implants. Having said all this, if one or more of your pearly whites do need to be extracted; dental implants typically offer the best and most advantageous solution.
