Dental implants are a very different approach to tooth replacement when compared to traditional bridges and removable dentures. These not only last longer, but also restore function and beauty to your smile for decades to come. In today’s blog, your team at Dental Impressions in Ankeny, IA, talks about how we support one or more dental implants! With implant dentistry, we have a durable and lifelike way to take on tooth loss and help you smile without hesitation again all summer long!
The Difference an Implant Makes
Dental implants are small and screw-like in appearance. Made from a biocompatible titanium, these actually bond with the jaw once they are surgically inserted, where they act as new tooth roots. This means your jaw avoids the loss of mass and density that typically follows tooth loss. Your jaw and youthful facial features remain intact, and your new tooth has the ability to last for decades to come, possibly a lifetime! This is much longer than traditional bridges or removable dentures.
Securing Your New Tooth Root
Our team will begin by examining your smile to choose the best angle, position, and depth to insert the new post. We then guide this into place with digital surgical guides. We numb and sedate you to ensure your comfort, and once the root is in place we will provide detailed instructions to ensure a fast and complication-free healing period. We then move on to address the invisible portion of your new tooth!
Attaching a Crown
For an individual missing tooth, our team can attach a dental crown. The restoration is custom-made to ensure a proper balance in your bite, and also shaded to blend with the smile to look natural. We use strong materials to ensure the tooth can handle daily bite forces and pressures with ease. If you have more than one missing tooth, we could use several posts to secure a bridge in place or even support a full set of new teeth. You don’t have to struggle with tooth loss and a prematurely aged appearance. We could help you enjoy better oral health and a complete smile again with dental implants and crowns.
