Dental Implants
If you are missing a single tooth or multiple teeth, dental implants are the way to go. They are the most natural looking way to replace missing teeth. Dental implants help maintain the integrity of the jawbone and prevent deterioration of the bone that can take place with missing teeth. It’s important to replace missing teeth as soon as possible for the full function of chewing and for a healthy, happy smile. Single Tooth ImplantIt is the ideal treatment for a missing tooth because it does not affect the teeth on either side of that missing tooth. That means no crowning of your natural teeth for bridges, and no clasps for removable partial dentures.When a tooth is lost, the body thinks that the jaw bone is no longer needed and it begins to shrink away. A dental implant keeps this bone intact and can prevent both bone loss and gum tissue shrinkage. An implant is also much easier to clean as compared to a bridge. And unlike a bridge, an implant can not be affected by cavities. Implants look and function like a natural tooth, while having several advantages over other types of tooth replacement. If you are missing a single tooth, a tooth implant is the most natural looking way to replace it. Dental Implants For Multiple Missing Teeth
Teeth are prone to deterioration after many years of use. They get worn down, chipped/cracked, and eventually they can be lost due to gum disease, physical injury or tooth decay. Having many missing teeth is hard on your health and replacing these teeth is very important. Just as with one missing tooth, several missing teeth can be aided with teeth implants. Implant supported bridges are permanently fixed in the mouth, unlike removable appliances. Implants look and function like natural teeth without needing the support of neighboring teeth. Dentures will fit more securely and comfortably with an over-denture implant. This will stop movement and slipping that is common with normal dentures. Many older adults are turning towards implant supported dentures for their greater comfort and confidence with dentures. Now these people are able to eat the foods they couldn't with their old dentures. Multiple teeth implants are a great way to add confidence to your smile with a truly snug fitting full/partial denture. We welcome new patients.
