When you suffer from tooth loss, you need a prosthetic to restore your ability to eat your favorite foods and smile with confidence again. Instead of traditional bridges and removable dentures, we can secure new teeth with advanced and long-lasting dental implants. At our Tampa, FL, dental practice, our team can secure lifelike replacement with our dental implants.
The Dangers of Your Missing Teeth
Losing teeth could pose serious risks for the stability of your smile and to your overall oral health. After all, the body will begin suspending or diverting the flow of calcium and phosphates to the areas without tooth roots, causing the jawbone to gradually break down. This then causes further tooth loss and a remotely aged appearance. In addition, these gaps are linked to other concerns, such as misalignment, TMJ disorder, bruxism, and trouble eating your favorite foods or even speaking clearly. Which is why seeking tooth replacement with dental implants is so vital for your smile!
Inserting Your Titanium Posts
Our team will begin by taking detailed digital x-rays of your smile, so we can assess the strength of your jawbone and choose the best areas to insert your new roots. These implant posts are made from titanium, which is biocompatible and accepted by the body as natural bone structure. Your new posts act as roots and can stimulate the growth of jawbone structure to prevent the loss of mass and density in the smile. They can also last for decades to come with care and attention, possibly a lifetime.
Attaching a Restoration
What about the parts people see when you smile? When the placement area heals, our team can attach an abutment to the posts, which extends above the gum line and provides structure to attach a crown. The dental crown not only looks natural and blends with the smile, but provides a durable chewing surface too. If you have multiple missing teeth, then several posts at strategic places in your jaw could be used to support bridges, partials, or even a full set of fixed dentures. You don’t have to live with tooth loss, and watch your smile degrade with time. Instead, talk to our team about tooth replacement with dental implants.
