Implants are tooth replacements that mimic nature. The premier choice for replacing a missing tooth may be a dental implant. Teeth may be lost for a number of reasons, including cavities, periodontal disease or trauma. Did you know that by age 17, more than 7.3% of US children have lost one permanent tooth; and by age 50, Americans have lost an average of 12 teeth?
Compared to other treatment options to replace missing teeth, such as bridges and removable partials, an implant with an implant crown offers a long-lasting solution for a missing tooth and requires fewer follow-up dental visits.
Did you know that oral health is a major factor of general health? Replacing your missing tooth with a dental implant and crown should allow you to live your life as if you never suffered from a missing tooth. When your treatment is complete, you should be able to chew, speak, and socialize without experiencing the negative emotions that having a missing tooth can sometimes cause.
A dental implant and crown will help minimize the amount of bone that will be lost in the area of the missing tooth. Preserving oral bone may help maintain your remaining natural teeth and natural facial contours. Replacing your missing tooth may reduce the risk of having poor nutritional habits often found in those who do not replace missing teeth.
Only your dentist can be sure if you are a candidate for a dental implant, but most patients can be treated with dental implants. Schedule an appointment to talk to our dentists about how implants might benefit you.
