Dental Implants

Losing your natural tooth can be a traumatizing experience for someone. It can also have an impact on the overall balance of your mouth. At For Your Smile Dental, our team of professionals offers end-to-end solutions for missing teeth by way of dental implants which include preparation of the implant site, tooth extraction, and bone grafting

You can take an informed decision after consulting your dentist if a dental implant is a suitable choice for you. Tooth loss can cause various problems. Some problems are:

1.Strain while performing the day-to-day functions of eating, chewing, or talking.
2.Shifting of the surrounding teeth which may lead to gum disease and jaw problems.
3.Premature shrinking of the jawbone leads to an appearance of being older than you are.

Dental Implants Procedure

Dental implants are screws made of titanium that are attached to the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Crowns, bridges, or dentures are then attached to the implant to replace your missing teeth. At Expressions Dental our endeavor is to make the entire process as smooth and pain-free as possible. Please contact us to know if you are a good candidate for a dental implant.

Advantages

Dental implants are a safe way to fill in for missing teeth with minimal damage to the adjoining teeth. They can also keep your dentures firmly in their place and prevent complications arising out of any displacement or slipping of your dentures. Our team of professionals surgically places the implants in the jawbone in such a strategic manner that it mimics the root of the natural tooth and prevents any bone loss. These are a few reasons because of which dental implants are the first preference for restoring missing or damaged teeth.

Disadvantages

Any procedure that has an upside may also be accompanied by a downside. Placing an implant requires surgery which may often be accompanied by post-surgical complications like infection, bleeding, nerve damage to other teeth or structures in your mouth, and slow healing. Over time you may still experience bone loss around the area of the implant. Dental implants are successful when you have healthy gums and sufficient bone to support the implant. After this procedure, one should maintain strict oral care discipline and visit their dentist every 6 months
