The Dental Implant Placement Process for Tooth Loss

Posted .

Are you considering your options to restore your smile after tooth loss? If so, we are happy to provide some insight. Cosmetic dentistry has evolved to offer multiple ways to achieve a beautiful smile after losing a tooth, and dental implants deliver beautiful long-term results that have been gaining popularity. We are happy to discuss dental implants further and how they can effectively enhance your smile.

Dental implants can be an excellent choice if you are interested in receiving long-term restoration for your smile. It’s very important to replace a lost tooth since the jaw bone can begin to experience bone loss if there isn’t a tooth to anchor it. The dental implant replaces the function of the tooth root, restoring the jawbone strength for a healthy smile.

Titanium is the dental implant material of choice since it works very well with the body and, once placed in your jaw, can fuse with the bone to form a very strong anchor that can provide lifelong support. Over the course of the healing process, you may need to eat softer foods for a while to care for your mouth.

Following the completion of your healing period, our Periodontist can then place a dental crown on top of the implant. This is an imperative step because it is designed to appear like the natural tooth to provide you with a wholesome smile.
