Dental Implants

Losing a tooth can seem like it’s not a big deal, but many issues can occur once that happens. Bone loss in the jaw, other teeth shifting to create a bad bite, difficulty chewing, and more often result. But the good news is how many excellent treatment options there are, starting with dental implants.

Dental implants are the ideal way to replace lost teeth. From the front of the mouth, where they are most visible, to the back, where they provide stability to chew a complete variety of foods, implants can help you recapture a beautiful and healthy smile. You can also get a full mouth dental implants too.

Dental implants are placed under the gums, unlike bridges or removable dentures, which sit on top of the gums. The “tooth” placed on an implant appears life-like because it comes through the gums like the original did. The post implanted in the jawbone replicates a natural tooth, stimulating the jawbone to prevent bone loss and the sunken, aged look so many people develop after losing teeth.

Single Tooth Implant

Teeth can be lost for many reasons. Gum disease is the most common, but trauma, sports injuries, accumulated damage, and infection can also lead to the loss of a tooth. It can be an ongoing issue when one tooth is lost or removed. The other teeth move around and can loosen, causing a domino effect on the rest of the teeth. It can affect your bite – the way you chew – as well as the way you talk and look.

A single tooth implant can be used anywhere in the mouth, and it’s a permanent replacement that is strong, durable, and undetectable from the rest of your teeth. Single tooth implant cost cannot be calculated as it is different at every dental clinic.

Bridge Implants

A regular bridge is made of crowns placed over existing teeth, with a prosthetic in the middle to fill the gap created by multiple missing teeth. A bridge implant is secured by permanent posts instead, making it more stable, hygienic, and natural-looking. The bridge supports the remaining teeth, helping keep your oral health more stable and you looking younger.
