Change is never an easy thing, but yet it is unavoidable. With each new Silver Spring generation
comes a long list of things that are new, are strange and are not the way you remember.
Sometimes it takes a little while to adapt. You start by spending most of your time talking about
‘the good old days’ and how things were so much better back in your day. But soon you realize
that you can no longer harp on the past, and in fact, have to change with the times.
Although this is not an easy process, change comes with a multitude of benefits. One of the
benefits of this new world, and one that will definitely not have you harping on about the good
old days, comes in the form of dentistry. Over the years, Silver Spring dentistry has advanced in
leaps and bounds, with new research, development and discoveries being made on a regular basis.
One advancement that will have Silver Spring residents smiling is dental implants.

Over the years there have been multiple solutions to tooth loss, and for many years removable
dentures were your best bet. That is until dentaldentaldentaldental implantsimplantsimplantsimplants inininin SilverSilverSilverSilver SpringSpringSpringSpring came along.
After much research and debate, it was discovered that the tooth root played a very important
role in the shape and function of the jawbone. Whilst dentures were successful in replacing the
visible portion of the teeth, the crowns, they do not replace the root, which is incredibly
problematic for the health of the jaw.

The jawbone functions similarly to that of the muscles in the body, in such a way that it requires
stimulation in order to maintain its shape, strength and volume. When all your teeth are intact,
the act of chewing stimulates the jawbone. But when you have missing teeth, the stimulation that
was once transmitted by the tooth roots into the jaw ceases to exist at the site of the missing
tooth, causing the bone to atrophy.
“The atrophied jawbone causes the mouth to change shape,” explain dentists in Maryland. “This,
in turn, causes the removable dentures to become loose in the mouth, often causing pain and
discomfort.”

While dentures replace the crowns of the teeth, dental implants received in Silver Spring, replace
the entire tooth, including the root. Replacing the tooth root ensures the continuation of the
stimulation achieved through chewing, ensuring that your jawbone remains “exercised” and
healthy.

“There are a variety of options with dental implants, depending on the state of your oral health,”
explain dentistsdentistsdentistsdentists inininin MarylandMarylandMarylandMaryland. “For edentulous (toothless) or near edentulous patients there is
the “All-On-Four” dental implant procedure, which allows for a full set of replacement teeth to be
attached to just four implants. This means that with just one procedure you can have a full set of
non-removable teeth placed that won’t any pain or discomfort and look, feel and function like
natural teeth.”
So while many changes are difficult to adapt to, most people will agree that changes to dentistry
and tooth replacement is a cause for celebration rather than nostalgia.
