For the Comfort and Function of Real Teeth, Try Dental Implants

Decay, wear and tear, and injuries are just a few of the many factors that can impact your oral health and lead to tooth loss. Although tooth loss is regrettable, you don’t have to live with missing teeth. Dental implants from Park Avenue Dental, New York, are a practical and effective means of replacing lost teeth. With dental implants, you can eat, speak, and smile again with ease.

Importance of Replacing Missing Teeth

Lost teeth need to be replaced to maintain good oral health. When teeth go missing, they leave unsightly gaps in your mouth that can be difficult to keep clean. This puts you at risk of decay or gum disease. Your remaining teeth may start to shift to fill those gaps, causing bite and misalignment issues. Lost teeth can result in bone loss in the area where your teeth used to be, which can cause sagging of your jaw and cheeks.

Tooth loss can also restrict the type of food you eat as you have fewer teeth to chew. You may have problems pronouncing certain words as teeth affect your ability to speak clearly. Last but not least, lost teeth will detract from your smile, making you smile less often due to feeling self-conscious about your appearance. Dental implants can resolve oral health issues and give you back the winsome smile you had before losing teeth.

What to Expect from Implants

Traditional implants come with a titanium base that serves as a tooth root and a crown that acts as your replacement tooth. Dr. Mary Taudel will surgically implant the titanium base into your jawbone, where it will slowly integrate into your system, a process that may take 4-6 months to complete. Once the implant has been assimilated into your jaw, we’ll attach a crown on top to act as your replacement tooth. No other tooth restorative treatment matches the comfort, function, and esthetic appeal of implants.

Benefits of Choosing Dental Implants for Missing Teeth

If you’re looking for prosthetics that fit comfortably, function beautifully, and last a lifetime, dental implants could be just what you need. After evaluating your teeth, gums, and jaw and discussing your vision for replacement teeth, Dr. Mary Taudel can determine if you’re a good candidate for dental implants. Although the dental implant process can take up to 6 months to complete, the benefits of having a beautiful smile and functional teeth make this treatment well worth the investment. Upon completion of your treatment, you can look forward to:

• Replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth
• Permanent prosthetics that can last a lifetime
• Restored ability to eat and speak
• Restored oral health, as implants prevent bone loss and keep teeth from shifting
• An attractive smile you can show off proudly
