Dental Implant DentistryBeaumont - Port Arthur
A missing tooth can cause much more than aesthetic problems. A missing tooth can allow other teeth to drift, making your smile crooked; it can also cause the bone beneath the missing tooth to disintegrate, allowing your jaw to shrink and lose strength. If you are missing a tooth, one of the best solutions is a dental implant. A dental implant function exactly the same way as the natural tooth would, keeping the bone intact and strong, filling in the space in your smile, and functioning just as well as your natural teeth. If you are missing a tooth, it is important to correct the problem with implant dentistry as soon as possible in order to prevent the other dental problems posed by a missing tooth. A dental implant is essentially a small, metal anchor that is placed into the jawbone to perfectly mimic the roots of a natural tooth. After the dental implant has been placed, an abutment, or fake tooth, can be attached, restoring the look and function of the rest of the natural tooth. Dental implants not only look exactly like natural teeth, but they function in the same way as well. Also, there is now special cleaning regimen like other dental restorations, a dental implant simply needs to be brushed and flossed like your other teeth. If you have a missing tooth that you would like to correct with implant dentistry, contact us today and schedule a free initial consultation. |
