As we age, the risk of losing our teeth increases. And while there is a lot that can be done to maintain healthy teeth or prevent issues from occurring that lead to tooth loss, once you’ve lost the teeth it’s time to find a solution.
We see many patients each month who need our help replacing lost teeth. One solution is a dental implant, essentially a foundation set into your jawbone surgically – that acts as anchor for your replacement tooth or teeth. Replacement teeth can be in the form of a crown, bridgework or dentures.
The end goal of dental implants is to restore the functionality of your teeth so you can eat and chew like you used to. It can also help improve your smile and structure of your mouth – very important to people who are concerned with that way the look and don’t want to feel as though they’ve lost out on something from their youth that they won’t be able to regain.
If you have questions for a periodontist – what we do, how we can help your smile – please contact our offices. We’d be happy to talk more with you!
