Teeth Replacement With Dental Implants

Dr. Kevin Hogan • March 12, 2018

Whether you have lost one or multiple teeth, it is important to seek medical attention. A lost tooth can be easy to ignore, especially if it is in a less visible place in your mouth. However, leaving missing teeth untreated can cause a number of dental conditions that threaten your oral health. A few of the most common problems include the following:

  • Embarrassing smile
  • Gum disease
  • Plaque buildup
  • An increase in harmful bacteria
  • Loose gum sockets
  • Misaligned bite
  • Loss of bone tissue
  • Jawbone deterioration
  • Difficulty eating and chewing your favorite foods
  • Trouble speaking and pronouncing words correctly
  • Changes to your facial structure

Dental implants can permanently restore one or multiple missing teeth. The process includes inserting a titanium post into your jawbone. After a period of healing, the new root will fuse with the bone in your jaw to create a secure root to hold the new artificial tooth in place. After the post heals, Dr. Hogan will place a crown in place of the missing tooth that will match the color and feel of your remaining teeth.

With the implant and crown in place,you can smile and laugh with confidence. The new implant will also protect your oral health and prevent adverse events like bone loss and deterioration. Most people recover quickly after dental implant surgery and experience few side effects.

If you are a good candidate for the treatment, you can expect to receive the following benefits from dental implants :

  • Improvement in your appearance and smile
  • A comfortable experience eating and speaking
  • Improvement in your jaw in alignment
  • Maintain your oral health
  • Healthy bone and tissue growth due to proper stimulation from the titanium anchor
  • Reduced risk of tooth loss to your remaining natural teeth
