If you have lost a tooth, or even if you have more severe tooth loss, then we can help. With dental implants, we can secure options that look and function like natural teeth, lasting for decades to come in some cases! In today’s blog, Sunny Smiles talks about providing complete smiles with dental implants.
The Benefits of Treating Tooth Loss
When you lose teeth, obviously there is a major change in the appearance of your smile. But you could also have your jawbone weaken, as the lack of roots means suspension of key nutrients to the jaw around them. The area erodes to cause further tooth loss and even an older appearance. Missing teeth are also linked to limited meal options and poor nutritional intake, as well as issues with clear speech. You could even have a higher risk of misalignment, as remaining teeth drift to the open gaps. To restore function, health, and beauty to your smile again, we can fill the gaps with durable and lifelike dental implants!
Placing Dental Implants
Our team will examine your smile with advanced digital imaging, so we can assess the cause and beauty of your tooth loss. We can use periodontic care to manage disease to protect your new teeth and remaining natural ones. Our team will then choose the best angle, position, and depth to insert your new posts, guiding them into the smile to ensure they can stimulate jawbone growth and support new teeth. For an individual one, we can then attach an abutment to the post that extends above the gum line. Our team will connect a custom crown to the abutment, which completes your new tooth, offering a lifelike appearance and a durable chewing surface. We can also address more severe cases too!
Same-Day and All-On-Four Options
For some patients, we could complete the placement and restoration process in one visit. Same-day dental implants means you leave our office with a complete smile after only one sitting! But if you have lost most or all of your teeth, we could also offer a same-day and implant-supported alternative to removable braces. With All-On-Four, we will insert just four dental implants per arch, which will strengthen the jaw and support a complete row of new teeth, which we attach in the same visit. These will be made from durable and lifelike ceramic. Your new smile is fixed in place, no need to remove them for cleaning or soaking, and they last far longer than traditional removable options too!
