What if we could replace your missing tooth with an option that lasts decades, possibly even a lifetime? We can do so with a dental implant and crown! In today’s blog, your team at Riverside Dental Group talks about how we offer our patients a tooth replacement that lasts with dental implants.
The Loss of Your Teeth and the Aftermath
When you lose your teeth, you can see us for tooth replacement, as we can offer an option that lasts. But how do we lose our teeth, and what happens to our smile afterward? Tooth loss causes could range from injury and cavities/infections, or gum disease. When you have gaps in your smile, this could create misalignment that further alters your appearance and increases the risk of issues like tooth decay and gum disease. Missing teeth also strain the jaw joints, so you become vulnerable to TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). If you lose several teeth, you could have issues with meals or speech. Once a tooth is lost, this means the area around it loses mass and density, eroding to cause further tooth loss and even an aged appearance. But we can help, using dental implants to ensure a replacement option that lasts.
Dental Implant Placement
How does a dental implant offer replacement that lasts? The key is the implant portion, which is essentially a new root we surgically insert into the jaw, near where the previous tooth was lost. Made from biocompatible titanium, the body will accept them as natural root structure, and it will be able to stay secure for years to come, decades or even a lifetime with proper care and attention. We plan and guide the placement process with digital imaging to ensure accuracy, so your new root sits at the right angle, position, and depth to stay secure and in place for years to come.
Securing Crowns
Another key part of ensuring your dental implant offers replacement that lasts is the crown, which completes the tooth. Attached to the post via an abutment, the crown will look natural and blend with the smile, while also offering durable chewing surfaces. If you have any questions about securing a replacement option that lasts, then contact our team today.
