If you want to address the gaps in your smile, then you need a durable and lifelike solution that can truly last. With dental implants, we can replace missing teeth with an option that addresses the gaps in your smile and also keeps your jaw intact. In today’s blog, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist talks about dental implants.
The Causes of Your Lost Teeth
How do we lose natural teeth? For some, losing a tooth is possible due to an untreated cavity or infection. The tooth could fall out or require extraction to prevent the spread of infection. You could also lose a tooth to injury or an accident. Then most common cause of tooth loss, particularly advanced tooth loss, is periodontitis, a stage of gum disease. When this happens, you could have issues with meals, speech, or even the alignment of your smile. But your jawbone could weaken and erode too, which leads to additional missing teeth and even an older appearance. But with dental implants, we fill the gaps with a long-lasting solution that preserves your smile as a whole!
Securing a New Tooth Root with Dental Implants
We will examine your smile to choose the best placement area for your new dental implants, so we know your jaw can support them for years to come. We will guide them into place with imaging technology too, so your dental implants will act like new roots and be accepted by the body as such. This bonding process helps ensure your smile can stay intact and that your new teeth can remain for years to come decades or even a lifetime for some.
Providing Lifelike Results
Once we have secured your new tooth root (or roots), we will address the visible portion of your new tooth. With a crown, we can address the single-tooth one, providing a durable chewing surface and a lifelike appearance. But we can also create bridges or even dentures to address more severe tooth loss, so you can once again enjoy a full and beautiful smile, one that can last for years to come and help you feel confident in your appearance.
