If you’re missing teeth, you may feel uncomfortable or embarrassed to smile, it may affect your bite when you eat, or other teeth in your mouth may shift due to the gap. This is something that shouldn’t be ignored. You need to make an appointment with a dentist that offers Summit, NJ Dental Implants. With dental implants in place, you will feel much better about yourself and your mouth will be more comfortable while eating, talking and of course, smiling. You’ll have no missing teeth, and will look years younger.
Of course, with missing teeth, many people think of a bridge or other dental procedure to mask the problem. This may be fine, especially if you’re considering replacing only one tooth, but any type of false tooth feels as if it is false. It’s not as strong as a permanent tooth, doesn’t avoid bone loss and you always have to be cautious of what you eat. This isn’t the case with an implant.
An implant is a multi step process that takes a few months to complete. After a consultation with a dentist that offers Summit, NJ Dental Implants, if you are considered a good candidate, you’ll move forward with the procedure. The first step in the process is securing the implant into the jaw bone. If you are wary of this step, sedation is available to keep you comfortable. After placement is complete, it takes from a few weeks to a couple months to allow the bone to grow around and secure to the implant. When this is achieved, a post is attached to the implant and a new tooth is fabricated. The new tooth will match in color, shape, and size to your other teeth so as to feel totally natural. When the fabrication is complete the replacement tooth is attached to the post in the mouth. This tooth will be as strong as a natural tooth and feel as if it has been there forever. You will have no jaw bone loss to alter your mouth and smile and you’ll know that the tooth is permanently secured in your mouth.
If you have one missing tooth or many, consider speaking to a dentist about dental implants. You’ll not have to worry about false teeth and the hassles that come with them ever again. With implants, you’ll have a strong set of natural looking and feeling teeth. Visit the website for more information.
