The Importance of Implant Dentistry

Online, August 28, 2013 (Newswire.com) - The statistics of tooth loss in the United States are extremely worrying. One might think that with our sophisticated dental and healthcare system and with their rapid state of advancement, less people would be losing their teeth every year. Well, it's not the state of healthcare that's a problem. It's the fact that we as Americans just aren't (1) looking after our teeth properly and (2) going for the treatment we need when we need it!

According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control), approximately 30% of Americans over 65 years of age are completely edentulous. In other words, they have lost all of their natural teeth. 25% of the 40 to 59-year age group is edentulous, while close to 70% of people between the ages of 35 and 44 have lost at least one adult tooth. Your teeth can last you a lifetime, but clearly this isn't the case for most people!

The Impacts of Tooth Loss

For 70% of our population, it doesn't take much imagination to truly understand what it's like to lose one of more of your natural teeth. But, for that 30% who are over the age of 65, living without teeth is a daily reality and a daily challenge. "Tooth loss has a considerable impact upon the quality of one's life," says New Jersey dental implant specialist, Dr. Steven Moss. "Not only does it impede one's ability to eat properly, thereby affecting nutrition and digestion, but also it compromises speech, appearance and one's self-esteem. The latter has far-reaching ramifications for one's professional and social life."

There are a number of dental treatments that can be applied to address tooth loss, including traditional dentures and bridgework, but the most sophisticated and beneficial by far is the dental implant. "Dental implants can be used in most cases of tooth loss and with rapid advancements in technology, there are very few patients needing all their teeth replaced that aren't candidates for treatment," say dental implant specialists in NJ. "The outcomes, in terms of function, aesthetics, longevity and health are unrivalled, especially with the "All-on-4TM" protocol."

The Future of Implant Dentistry

Every year, close to 45 million teeth are pulled due to decay and gum disease, according to the American Dental Association. Yet only two million dental implants are placed. This disparity implies that there is a huge and, as of yet, unfilled need for implant dentistry. The market for dental implants is projected to undergo a compound growth of a substantial 13% moving forward. So, according to this figure, there is a great need for dental implant specialists.

"Removable dentures and traditional bridges are fast becoming a technology of the past, although they are still widely used," say New Jersey dental implant specialists. "We urge patients who have lost one or more teeth to consider dental implants over and above traditional teeth replacement methods because implants typically last far longer and offer more sophisticated function and aesthetics."

Considering the vast number of tooth loss cases and the superior proficiency with which implant dentistry can address these cases, there clearly needs to be an appropriate appreciation for the incredible work of New Jersey dental implant specialists, such as Dr. Steven Moss and the team at MALO Advanced Oral Rehabilitation.
