You know that a dental implant is a prosthetic that replaces your roots when you lose your tooth (and that the implant later supports a restoration, so you have your whole tooth back). True, you may know what an implant is but you may not really know so much about why you may suddenly need one when the idea of ending up with tooth loss wasn’t predictable. Take a minute with our Conroe, TX team as we come up with some of the reasons you may find yourself requiring an implant! Remember: It’s a fantastic solution, should you require it!

You Didn’t Realize You Had A Serious Tooth Problem

First, let’s talk about the fact that for different reasons, patients are not always completely aware that they are having a serious problem with a tooth. Remember, when issues like tooth decay or infection become extremely severe, it is sometimes necessary to remove the tooth because restorative treatments simply cannot rescue it at that point. How is it at all possible you wouldn’t realize you really needed restorative care, you wonder, leaving you in sudden need of a dental implant? Consider our team’s following explanations:

• You haven’t seen a dentist in many years, so you never received a diagnosis
• You have a very high threshold to pain
• Your cavity or infection simply did not yield serious symptoms
• You’ve masked the discomfort with pain relievers for quite some time

You Didn’t See That Powerful Impact Coming

Sometimes, you literally don’t see a problem coming until it hits you in the mouth! Whether you’re playing baseball with friends, you take a wrong turn and run into something, you fall, or you take an elbow when playing a sport, there are so many ways you can suddenly end up with a strong impact to your tooth! Sometimes, a tooth can be replaced with emergency dental care. However, whether you could not find the dislodged tooth or the tooth was simply too shattered to fix, the loss (or your tooth’s removal) may yield an unexpected but completely empty socket. One moment you have your tooth, the next moment, you really need the help of a dental implant and restoration to restore your smile!
