Tooth Stains
Let’s start with the star of the month, tea. Both black tea and herbal teas can contribute to teeth staining. Their natural pigments, called tannins, can adhere to the enamel over time.

Why You Should Replace Missing Teeth
Did you know that the roots of natural teeth stimulate the jawbone, helping to maintain its strength and density? When a tooth is missing, the underlying bone starts to deteriorate due to lack of stimulation. This can result in bone loss and a sunken facial appearance over time. Dental implants are a popular choice for tooth replacement because they integrate with the jawbone, providing the necessary stimulation to prevent bone loss. By replacing missing teeth, we strive to preserve the integrity of the jawbone and maintain facial structure.
