The extraction of teeth is very important, careful and meticulous, otherwise it is easy to leave complications later.

So what's wrong with tooth extraction without replanting? The answer is yes. If after losing a tooth without replanting, it will leave serious consequences for your health as follows:
Affect the chewing process: Teeth are responsible for biting and crushing food. If the tooth is lost, it will have limited force to tear food, increasing pressure on the stomach, which affects your digestive system in the long run. Affects the aesthetics of the face: Losing teeth, especially incisors, will make you self-conscious in daily communication, affecting relationships in life. At the same time, when a tooth on the jaw is lost, it will also cause the remaining teeth to tilt, shift, misalign the bite ... causing loss of aesthetics. Bone loss, premature aging: Normally, the upper jaw bone will develop thanks to the stimulus force during chewing. If the tooth is lost, the impact force is no longer, your jawbone will also gradually disappear. When there is too much jaw bone loss, it will make the cheeks sunken, your facial skin becomes wrinkled, sagging and premature aging. Easy to get other oral diseases: When a tooth is extracted, it will leave a gap in the jaw, food particles easily get stuck and create conditions for harmful bacteria to grow in the mouth.

Porcelain bridges have a relatively short lifespan, about 7-10 years. Similarly, this method also does not prevent jawbone loss, your face quickly aging. Dental Implant:
Advantages: Dental implants help restore the ability to eat and chew like real teeth up to 99%. Implant method only needs to be planted once, but the use time is for a lifetime, forever, helping you save maximum costs. In particular, this is also the only method up to the present time to help prevent jaw bone loss.
