Dental Implants
Most people worry about a missing tooth because the gap left behind affects the appearance of their smiles, but did you know losing a permanent tooth can also cause jawbone deterioration? Placing a dental implant will not only give you a full, beautiful smile, but the implant will also encourage jawbone health.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
Implant dentistry starts with a synthetic tooth root that is placed in the jaw for stability and support.
The initial placement of your dental implant will be handled by a specialized oral surgeon. Dr. Tamatha Johnson will collaborate closely with the surgeon to ensure optimal planning and placement of the implant, ensuring it aligns perfectly with the restorative plan. Your jaw will need some time for the bone to start regrowth before the restoration process.
After the implant has integrated with the jaw bone, you will return to our office for the single tooth restoration. Dr. Johnson will design and place the custom dental crown that completes the implant, restoring functionality and aesthetics to your smile. For patients requiring dentures or more complex restorations, Dr. Johnson will refer you to a trusted specialist who can provide these services.
After Your Implant Process Is Complete
Once the implant has integrated with the jaw and your prosthetic teeth are fully restored, dental care is just as easy as it was before! Daily brushing and flossing will help keep your implants looking beautiful. The better the care, the longer they will last.
Benefits of Restoring Missing Teeth
Restoring missing teeth with dental implants offers numerous advantages that go beyond improving your smile. Here are some key benefits:
Prevents Jawbone Deterioration
Missing teeth can lead to bone loss in the jaw. Implants stimulate the jawbone, helping to maintain its density and shape.
Improves Oral Health
Filling gaps left by missing teeth helps prevent neighboring teeth from shifting, which can cause bite misalignment and other dental issues.
Enhances Chewing and Speaking
Missing teeth can make it difficult to chew food properly and speak clearly. Dental implants function like natural teeth, restoring your ability to eat and talk comfortably.
Boosts Confidence
A full, healthy smile can significantly boost your self-esteem and confidence, allowing you to engage more fully in social and professional interactions.
Long-Term Solution
Dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution, offering durability and longevity that surpasses other tooth replacement options like dentures and bridges.
