When you lose a tooth, or several, we can help. With dental implants, we can offer a replacement option that looks and functions like a natural tooth. In today’s blog, your team at Dental Impressions in Ankeny, IA, talks about how dental implants act like natural teeth!
The Need for Replacing Missing Teeth
You should see our team when you suffer from tooth loss. You need to replace missing teeth to avoid major complications, such as limited meal options, difficulty with clear speech, or even embarrassment in social situations. Lack of tooth roots also means the jawbone weakens, which is linked to further tooth loss and an aged appearance. But with dental implants, we can replace missing teeth in a way that not only looks natural. But keep your jawbone and facial structure intact, so you maintain your youthful features and enjoy tooth replacement that lasts decades!
Dental Implant Placement
The key to a dental implant acting like a natural tooth is the implant portion, the part we surgically insert into the jaw. This acts like a new root, bonding with the bone structure and ensuring the jaw does not lose mass and density, which it normally would following tooth loss. As the jawbone remains intact, the implant remains in place often for decades or a lifetime with proper care and attention. Our team will plan and guide the placement process with digital technology, ensuring your new tooth root sits at the right angle, position, and depth to support a new tooth or teeth for years to come!
Securing Your Dental Crown
Dental implants act like natural teeth because we complete them with restorations and prosthetics that look natural. For a single option, we will attach a crown that looks natural and blends with the smile, while also ensuring a balanced bite too. If you have a larger gap, we could attach a bridge to your implants, and we could even support a complete set of new teeth with a fixed denture. We take time to ensure these restorations and prosthetics look natural and can handle daily bite forces with ease, so you can enjoy optimal oral health, proper bite function, and a more lifelike appearance.
If you have any questions about how these replacement options act like natural teeth, or if you have gaps in your smile you want to see addressed, then contact our team today to learn more. We want to help you enjoy a full and beautiful smile, with results that can last for many, many years to come.
