If you have lost one or more of your natural teeth, this could weaken your jawbone and even leave you vulnerable to a prematurely aged appearance. To help prevent this and preserve your youthful appearance, we can secure dental implants. In today’s blog, Brooklyn Periodontics and Implantology talks about implant candidacy for patients in Brooklyn, NY.
Tackling Tooth Loss
If you have lost a tooth, then you should seek help from our team! Likewise, if you have lost several teeth, or even all of them, then you should seek help from our team. Without treatment, tooth loss could increase the risk of misalignment, TMJ disorder, and bruxism (teeth grinding). You could also have issues with meals, clear speech, and your ability to feel comfortable in social settings. Your jawbone could weaken too! Without tooth roots, the jaw could lose mass and density to cause further tooth loss and even an aged appearance. But we can help replace missing teeth and even keep your facial structure in place with dental implants!
Assessing Your Smile
Are you a candidate for implant dentistry? To find out, our team will carefully examine your smile. If your tooth loss was caused by gum disease, we can manage this with periodontic care to prevent further tooth loss or implant failure. If your jawbone has already weakened, then we could offer support services like jawbone grafting or a sinus lift to ensure there is structure to support your new dental implants! We can then place the exact position, depth, and angle to insert these new posts, so you can support a full smile for years to come! For some, these new teeth could last decades or possibly even a lifetime.
Placing Your New Teeth
Dental implants are small posts that look biocompatible, and are inserted into the jawbone, where they act like new roots. Once in place, these bond with the structure to ensure the potential to last and support the tooth portions. For a single one, we could attach a custom crown to complete the tooth. For more severe cases, then several posts could support a bridge or even a complete set of dentures, all in as little as one visit!
If you have any questions about your dental implant candidacy, or if you are ready to treat your tooth loss, then contact our team today to learn more and get started! You deserve a full smile, one that looks natural, and we want to help make it a reality.
