When you tell your implant dentist in West Haven CT that you
are choosing dental implants over dentures, you are choosing a permanent
solution for your missing teeth. Make no mistake about it , your dentist will
be pleased that you are opting for a healthier mouth and a more natural smile.
Choosing dental
implants
Dental bridges have traditionally filled the gap left by one
or more missing teeth , using neighboring teeth as anchors. In preparation for
traditional permanent dental bridges, surviving teeth on either side are
typically modified to accommodate anchoring crowns, usually by removing some of
their enamel.
Dental implants
It is a time-consuming process, requiring a period of time for
healing and for titanium and bone to bond together after implantation, but the
results are beautiful and permanent. An examination is necessary to know
whether you may be a candidate for dental implants. Your overall health must be
good and your jawbone must have enough mass and density to sustain the
implantation process.
What can dental
implants do for me?
If you have several missing teeth, your implant dentist
might place several implants and build several separate teeth for you, or may
implant anchor teeth at either end of the gap on which to position a permanent
bridge. Either way, choosing dental implants will produce permanent replacement
teeth for you. For someone who has had all of their teeth removed, dental
bridges offer two important options.
Full mouth
reconstruction
If you have no teeth, or very few teeth, choosing dental
implants over dentures might mean that your implant dentist gives you a full
mouth reconstruction. Whether you are having a single dental implant or
multiple implants, the process is the same. It consists of the implantation of
a titanium post, healing and bonding, the design and creation of replacement
teeth, and the final positioning of the new teeth. Full mouth reconstruction can mean restoration
of a full set of strong and beautiful teeth!
