How easy will it be for you to adjust to life with a dental prosthetic in place of a lost tooth? Life with an incomplete smile can be frustrating for many reasons. You can find yourself giving up on certain foods because they are difficult to chew, and hiding your smile because the gap between teeth embarrasses you. At our Katy, TX dental practice, we can provide a dental implant-supported restoration that helps you feel better about your dental function, and the way you look! Because a dental implant effectively mimics the role of a tooth root, your restoration can feel surprisingly comfortable. In addition to making it easier for you to bite and chew, and being able to provide more support to neighboring teeth, implants also help you sustain the health and density of your jawbone!
Implant Dentistry Can Provide A Better Experience For Individuals Who Have Lost Teeth
Implant dentistry can provide people who have experienced tooth loss with better support from their restorations. While a single tooth implant is effective at closing a gap left by one missing tooth, multiple implants can be used to hold more significant restorations. In fact, the stability provided by implants even makes it possible for them to hold dentures in place! For patients with one missing tooth, or those who want implant-held dentures, these supportive posts can offer dependable support on a daily basis!
The Placement Of Your Dental Implant
The dental implant you receive will be surgically placed in the space where a tooth root used to be located in your jawbone. During an initial evaluation, your dentist can determine where the ideal placement will be, and look for any signs of oral health trouble that might interfere with your restorative work. If necessary, you and your dentist can arrange the appropriate care before moving forward with your prosthetic work.
Restoring Your Incomplete Smile Can Help Improve Your Dental Function
Tooth loss can make it difficult for you to bite and chew, which can lead to problems like TMJ dysfunction. Because implants provide better stability for lifelike restorations, you can find that your dental function is better after your smile is restored! Our goal during treatment for your incomplete smile is to help you feel fully recovered from the loss of teeth, which includes helping you recover from compromised dental function.
