Losing teeth means more than just experiencing unwanted changes to your smile. The effects of tooth loss include difficulties with bite strength and function, a greater risk for more losses, and gradual jawbone deterioration. Implant dentistry can take on these different issues while giving you more confidence in the support of your restoration!
What Patients Gain From Dental Implants
Dental implants are used to address different degrees of tooth loss. Depending on your needs, you can arrange to have a dental crown, bridge, or denture put in place to permanently restore your full smile. By doing so, you enjoy more stability from your prosthesis, and you can enjoy key health benefits.
Having dental implant support for your prosthetic can offer the following:
- More support for a healthy bite function, which helps you enjoy a more varied and nutrient-rich diet
- Additional stability for neighboring teeth, as the implant provides more support for their roots
- Stimulation in your jawbone, which encourages the delivery of nutrients to the bone and prevents tissue resorption over time
- A more comfortable experience with your prosthetic appliance, as it is permanently set in place
Qualifying For Implant Placement
We perform thorough reviews to ensure patients are ready to receive a dental implant (or multiple implants). A review will evaluate your jaw and periodontal health. Any concerns identified will be discussed with you, at which time we can talk about the role preliminary care can play in preparing you for prosthetic care.
