What if your tooth loss could be addressed with an option that looks natural and also lasts for years to come? We can help you enjoy a complete smile with dental implants! In today’s blog, your Ankeny, IA, dentist is looking at the new standard for tooth replacement: dental implants.
The Need to Replace Missing Teeth
If you have lost natural teeth, then you could benefit from dental implants. Whether you have one lost tooth or several, this could offer a durable and long-lasting replacement. Otherwise, your tooth loss could harm your smile. The body will respond to your missing teeth by suspending the flow of calcium and prosperous to the jawbone around your missing teeth. Without these teeth, your jawbone will erode and break down, leading to an age appearance. Missing teeth could limit your meal options, depriving you of essential nutrients, and leads to an aged appearance. You could also have issues with clear speech and could be vulnerable to the onset of misalignment! but we can help with long-lasting and lifelike dental implants.
Securing Dental Implants
Unlike traditional bridges and removable dentures, these will be inserted surgically to the jaw and act like natural roots. They bond with the surrounding bone structure to act like new roots. This means your jawbone doesn’t erode and your facial structure remains intact. Your new teeth can also last decades or even a lifetime, instead of just 5 to 10 years. Our team will plan and guide the process with advanced digital imaging and take steps like sedation to ensure the entire process is a comfortable one for you. Once we have finished the process, we will move forward with addressing the visible portion of your new tooth, or your new smile!
Ensuring a Lifelike Appearance
For an individual one, our team could connect a crown to the post that will look natural and blend with the smile. If you have a more severe case of tooth loss, we could instead create a set of bridges or even a full set of new teeth and connect them to the posts, so you have a more natural appearance. You can enjoy your favorite foods again, and your teeth can be cared for like natural ones, no need to remove them for soaking or cleaning.
