Here’s How You Need to Replace a Lost Tooth

Dr. Hogan often recommends replacing damaged or missing teeth with dental implants to properly address the issue. While implants are not the only option, they are superior to other alternatives and create a permanent solution with the look and feel of your natural teeth. The new artificial tooth allows you to regain your smile and enjoy eating your favorite foods once again.

Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that addresses both the tooth enamel and the root. The procedure involves implanting a titanium anchor into the jawbone,establishing a solid support system for the new enamel tooth,also called a crown. The presence of the artificial root supports the jawbone and surrounding tissue like your natural teeth giving you the foundation to maintain your oral health for years to come.

So, while a dental implant is not the only option,it is the most advanced and natural solution available and has fewer side effects than other alternatives.

Depending on your needs, it is possible to replace one tooth, multiple teeth, or an entire arch. If you damage the new tooth, Dr. Hogan can often replace the crown without removing the titanium rod. The design of dental implants means it rarely needs repair.

Additional benefits of dental implants include include ease of care and fast recovery times. A matching process creates a tooth that looks and feels like your remaining natural teeth restoring your vibrant smile.
