There are few problems with your smile that can feel as impactful as tooth loss. Once a tooth is gone, it can mean a significant loss of confidence in your smile, and it can also mean the start of frustrating oral health difficulties. The good news is that we can secure a custom restoration that will help you regain confidence in your dental health as well as your appearance. You can meet with your Ankeny, IA dentist to talk about the advantages of having a dental implant placed and restored. Through this work, we can give you better bite support, stabilize neighboring teeth, and give you back a full, attractive smile!
Can A Dental Implant Really Hold A Restoration Permanently?
When you have a dental implant in place to hold it, you really can count on permanent support for your restoration. What this means is that you can have an easier time biting and chewing, feel more comfortable speaking and laughing, and enjoy more confidence when you smile. The implant’s presence has additional oral health benefits that you can appreciate. You can be glad to have the added stability to make your bite more secure. What you can also enjoy is stimulation in the jawbone tissues that surround your tooth, which will make it easier for you to preserve your oral health and appearance over time.
Restoring Your Smile With A Permanent Prosthetic
A dental implant is set directly in the space where your tooth was once held. To make sure the angle and placement of this post are just right, your dentist will take care to closely evaluate you and determine where it should go. After it is secured, you will wait for a recommended period to properly heal. Once you do, you can come back to our practice to have a lifelike, permanent appliance put in position.
What Else Can You Do To Restore Your Smile After Tooth Loss?
In addition to recommending the placement and restoration of a dental implant, we can advise patients to have dental bridges put in place. A big benefit to this is that you can have work done to give you back your full smile without the need for oral surgery. A bridge will remain in place thanks to the dental crowns at either side, which are placed over the teeth around your gap.
