Having one or more missing teeth can do some damage to both your oral health and your self-esteem, but there’s a common restorative treatment that can give you the smile you thought you’d lost forever. The expert team at High Springs Dental is here for you.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that resemble a screw. If your tooth is missing or extracted, we will place the implant inside the jawbone, then allow both to naturally bond together. Once the area is completely healed, we will use an abutment to attach the visible ceramic crown.
While traditional dentures, partial dentures, and bridges are typically good options for people with missing teeth, none are quite as effective as dental implants. These are permanently fixed to your jawbone and are meant to last a lifetime.
To be eligible for treatment, you need to have all other oral health problems taken care of, as well as a strong jawbone for a sturdy foundation. If the bone can’t support implants, bone grafting may be an option.
If you want your smile back and your jawbone is strong enough, dental implants are the best possible tooth restoration for a healthy smile. If you have missing teeth, contact the helpful team at High Springs Dental today to schedule a consultation!
