Your Teeth and Dental Implants Will Get Along Perfectly

Posted February 28, 2017

Your teeth and dental implants will get along perfectly. Despite the unlikely marriage of artificial and natural teeth, it is possible to blend them seamlessly by customizing dental implants to your tooth color, shape, and structure. With a small tweak or two, we can ensure not only will you have a wonderfully new functional implant that will be as effective in its functions as a natural tooth can be, but it will also look natural too. Look below to see some other benefits that implants can provide:

– Dental implants are much more form-fitting and are considered by many patients to be much more comfortable than dentures.
– Some tough to chew foods such as steak can easily make dentures slide within your mouth, but dental implants hold fast, making these foods much more enjoyable and easier to eat.
– Due to a method called Osseointegration, the bone-implant integration can grow to support and hold the implant tight.
– Dental implants can fill out the natural shape and structure to your face lost by missing teeth.
– Without teeth or implants held in place, your jawbone can weaken and deteriorate over time.
– Your gums that hold teeth in place can cause shifting and movement to neighboring teeth when a gap is not occupied from a lost or missing tooth.
– A full-toothed smile is much better received in most social settings, which will also enhance your self-esteem and boost your self-image.

Dental Implants and What They Can Do for You

Posted November 21, 2016

If you have suffered a lost or severely cracked tooth, a dental implant may be what you need. Leaving behind an empty pit where the tooth used to be can cause many health issues, including housing harmful bacteria. Thanks to upgrades in technology and the fine-tuned precision of our dentists at [practice_name], we can fix it with implants. Some of the many benefits of dental implants include:

– Customization: Each implant is fully customizable for color, shape, size, and fit.

– Osseointegration: The bones around the implant can strengthen to hold the implant tighter via a process known as osseointegration.

– Natural-looking: Dental implants mimic natural teeth.

– Facial reconstruction: Dental implants can return a face to its original shape prior the lost tooth.

– Strengthen jawbone: Dental implants can strengthen the jawbone, which becomes weak and can deteriorate when teeth are not held in place for support.

– Normal eating habits: You can return to your normal eating habits with dental implants.

– Bone loss prevention: Dental implants can prevent bone loss.

– Durability: Dental implants can last a lifetime.

– Stability: Dental implants can prevent shifting caused by bone loss.

– Aesthetics: Dental implants can give you a better smile.

The Basics of Dental Implant Treatment

Posted October 10, 2016

Dental Implants are sweeping the nation in popularity because of their extremely high number of successful cases and treatments. Dental implants are a great option when it comes to restoring a tooth to complete your smile. However, we understand that with new treatments comes questions. That is why, our office is here to walk you through the basics of dental implant treatment.

Step 1: First, we will examine your smile and create an individualized treatment plan. In order to do so, we will thoroughly examine your mouth by taking a series of X-rays. Once we receive all of the information we need, we will take the necessary steps.

Step 2: If your jawbone is strong enough, a tooth root implant will be placed into the bone socket of your missing tooth. The implant will be made of titanium. Then, your bone will need to heal around the post to secure it in place. This could take six to twelve weeks.

Step 3: When the bone has healed, your dentist will attach an abutment to the post. Then, [heshe] will create a dental crown that is perfect for your smile. When the crown is ready, [heshe] will place it over the abutment.

Now that you know all about the steps involved in dental implant treatment, you’re ready for your appointment! If you have any questions or if you would like to talk to your dentist, Dr. [doctor_name], regarding dental implants, please call our office today at [phone]. We are pleased to help you, and we look forward to hearing from you!

Dental implants in [city], [state], are strong dental restorations that provide long-term, beautiful results. The treatment might require some time, but it is definitely worth it. When you are receiving a dental implant, you will undergo the following steps:

Step 1: In order to have dental implants, you need strong and healthy gums and jawbones. So, the first step will be an examination. Your dentist will thoroughly examine your entire oral cavity, which may include taking a series of X-rays. If your mouth is in top-notch condition, your dentist will create a treatment plan just for you.
