Dental Implant Services For One Tooth

A dental implant can be used to replace one or more teeth. If you are dealing with periodontitis or gum disease, you are a smoker, or you have blood sugar levels that are not controlled, you will need to deal with these issues before being approved for dental implants. The general dentistry implant process at our includes:

  • Evaluating your mouth and overall health to assess your suitability for implants
  • Extracting any existing teeth that are going to be replaced with an implant
  • Embedding the titanium rod and securing the titanium crown
  • Allowing the implant to heal in place before fully using the area of your mouth

You can enjoy a significant looking tooth when you invest in dental implants to replace missing teeth. You don’t have to treat the implant any different from your natural teeth, and it is going to offer you a permanent replacement tooth.

Dentures Using Implant Support

If you need dentures and are looking for a more secure attachment, you can use implant-supported dentures instead of traditional dentures. You won’t have to worry about your dentures becoming loose or deal with fixatives to keep your dentures in place. The roof of your mouth won’t be covered while you eat, a concern many denture wearers have when they want to taste the food they eat.

Implant-supported dentures allow you to eat the foods you love without fear that you will lose your dentures in your food. They aren’t going to move around in your mouth, causing small cuts and sore spots. The use of dental implants in dentures makes it easier for you to smile, as it feels like you have natural teeth.
