Losing your natural teeth can mean embarrassment and eventually, major long-term complications. But to help fill the gap and preserve your smile, our team can offer dental implants. In today’s blog, Brooklyn Periodontics and Implantology talks about replacing your missing teeth with dental implants.
Don’t Live with Tooth Loss
When you lose a tooth, this could be due to cavities, infection, injury, or in most cases, gum disease. Even a minor gap could mean trouble for your smile. For example, losing a tooth causes nearby teeth to shift due to the open space, which then creates misalignment. If you have a larger gap, you could have issues with meals or even clear speech. Without tooth roots, the jaw structure around your lost teeth begins to weaken and erode, with time this could mean further tooth loss and even an older appearance. But with dental implants, we can take on minor or major tooth loss, and ensure your jaw and facial structure remains intact!
Planning Your New Tooth Replacement
Our team will look closely at your smile with advanced imaging technology, using these high-definition digital images to select the best angle, position, and depth to insert your new roots. If we find your jaw is too weak for this replacement option, we could strengthen the area with jawbone grafting or a sinus lift. The implants are small, thin posts that look like tiny screws. We will insert them into the jaw, where they bond with the jaw and act like natural tooth roots! Your new teeth then have the potential to last for decades to come, possibly a lifetime, with proper care and attention.
Completing Your Dental Implants
What about the part of your new teeth people see, the part that ensures you can eat your favorite foods again? For an individual one, our team can attach a custom crown, one that looks natural and blends with your smile. If you have a larger gap, we could create a bridge to accommodate this and ensure a full smile again. If you have lost most or all of your teeth, then we could use All-On-Four to provide a full set of new and lifelike teeth, all supported with dental implants and all in a single sitting!
If you have any questions about how we treat tooth loss with advanced dental implants, or about how we will start the process for interested community members, then contact our team today. We look forward to helping you enjoy a complete smile again!
