01 Nov The Benefits Of Placing Dental Implants
When you suffer from the loss of a tooth, or if you have lost several, then this can impact your oral health and your quality of life. Fortunately, we can address your missing teeth with implant dentistry. Our Fulton, MO, dental team can secure tooth replacements that look and function like natural teeth using dental implants!
The Impact of Your Missing Teeth
Don’t ignore your tooth loss, even if you only have one missing tooth! When we lose our teeth, the body will respond by suspending the flow of calcium and phosphates to the areas around your lost root. Without these nutrients, the bone tissue gradually breaks down to cause an older appearance and the loss of additional natural teeth. Missing teeth are also linked to misalignment, jaw joint strain, and impacts on how you eat or even how clearly you speak! But with dental implants, we can provide new teeth and in the process, preserve your jawbone and prevent these complications.
The Lifelike Nature and Durability
Dental implants are small biocompatible posts made from titanium, which the body will see as natural root structure. Our team will insert the posts directly into your jaw. They bond with the bone structure and act as new roots, which means the flow of key nutrients to the jaw resumes, so there is no further break down and you preserve your smile and your youthful appearance! Which means these are far more durable than simple bridges or removable dentures. We provide a new tooth or teeth that look and function like natural ones.
Placement and Restoration
Our team will employ digital technology to guide the posts into place, choosing the angles and positions that best support new teeth and stimulate the growth of your jaw. Once we insert these into your jaw, we will attach abutments to the posts once the placement area heals. Finally, we connect a crown for an individual one, or a portion of a bridge or denture if you have multiple posts. These can provide a complete smile, so you can feel confident in social situations and also enjoy your favorite foods again.
Don’t let tooth loss lead to serious trouble for the health, function and beauty of your smile, and for your overall quality of life. Instead, talk to our team about treatment with dental implants. We can help you through each stage of the process, so you can obtain results that look natural and are durable, able to last for decades to come, possibly a lifetime.
