Tooth loss can impact your smile, and even your overall quality of life. To address the issue, we could offer dental implants, even if you lose all of your natural teeth! In today’s blog, your team at Brooklyn Periodontics and Implantology talks about prepping smiles for dental implants.
The Need for Implant Dentistry
When you lose a tooth, even just one, you should contact our team. Even a single missing tooth could lead to complications for the health, function, and appearance of your smile. As you lose more teeth. These larger gaps could even complicate how you eat and speak. You could be more likely to develop a prematurely aged appearance too, as the jawbone begins to gradually weaken without tooth roots. With dental implants, we not only fill the open gaps in your smile, but we can stimulate jawbone growth to keep your smile strong and intact for years to come, possibly decades!
Preparing Your Smile with Support Services
Our team will examine your smile to assess the cause and beauty of your tooth loss. We may need to address underlying issues like gum disease to prevent implant failure. If we find your lower or upper jaw is too weak to support dental implants, we could offer help with support services. With jawbone grafting, we can strengthen the lower jaw and ensure there is enough structure to support one or more replacement teeth. For the upper portion, we could conduct a sinus lift.
Placing Your New Teeth
When your smile is ready, we will plan the placement process and guide it with digital imaging technology. We want the dental implant portions to sit at the right angle, position, and depth to ensure stability and long-lasting tooth replacement. Our team can then complete a single one with a dental crown. For a more severe case, several posts could support a bridge or even a fixed set of dentures. With All-On-Four, we could support a complete smile with just four posts, and in the same visit attach your new teeth, so you leave our foie with a full smile!
