Patients who are suffering from the uncomfortable and embarrassing effects of missing teeth can now receive technologically advanced implant dentistry treatments in Naperville, IL, from Dr. Kaz Zymantas. Dr. Zymantas now offers an innovative technology called Cone Beam Imaging to assist in the placement of dental implants. This technology makes it possible to see the various structures in the mouth with amazing clarity while exposing the patient to up to 10x less radiation than a traditional x-ray.
There are many situations that can lead to the loss of one or more teeth throughout a person's lifetime. Accidents, tooth decay, gum disease, and old age are just a few common causes of lost teeth. When missing teeth are not replaced, the patient's bite often starts to change because adjacent teeth will shift in order to partially fill in the holes where the missing teeth were once located. Additionally, the roots of natural teeth no longer stimulate the jawbone beneath empty sockets, which means that it is more susceptible to degradation over time.
