The longer you go without treatment for a lost tooth, the more trouble you can experience with this issue. A single gap in your smile can make serious trouble for your smile, and it can also create unwelcome problems with your ability to bite, chew, and maintain your oral health. At our Katy, TX dentist’s office, we are prepared to provide a lasting solution. Thanks to implant dentistry, a permanent restoration can be put in place without affecting neighboring teeth. In addition to providing relief if you have a single missing tooth, our practice can recommend care with implants even if you need to support a full denture! Because this arrangement can lead to the permanent placement of prostheses that match the appearance of healthy teeth, it offers lasting cosmetic value as well as oral health benefits.
Tooth Loss Creates A Significant Smile Concern
Even if tooth loss feels relatively easy to hide from view, it can be more difficult than you anticipate to fully keep the problem hidden when you smile, laugh, and speak. Unfortunately, people can make negative associations with your age, health, and overall appearance when they are aware that you have an empty space in your smile. The good news is that with a lifelike prosthetic restoration, you can resolve this problem and regain confidence in the way you look. An implant-held restoration can support your bite health as well as your appearance, so you will see more than just cosmetic value from treatment.
Implant Dentistry Provides Stability For Replacement Teeth
Dental implants are used to hold permanent restorations without causing issues with neighboring teeth. In fact, an implant can actually be of benefit to those neighbors, as its presence helps to stabilize their roots and keep them from shifting. The placement of your implant will occur after we evaluate your smile and jawbone to both confirm you are a good candidate and determine where it should be located. You will go through a healing period after placement. During this time, your jawbone will actually fuse with the implant to provide remarkable stability.
Making Prosthetic Work Part Of A Larger Effort To Improve Your Appearance
Prosthetic treatment can be an important part of a larger full mouth reconstruction. For patients who have several problems that need to be resolved, a full mouth reconstruction plan lays out necessary treatments and helps you arrange them in a way that fits your needs. This work can include implant placement and restoration, and it can also tend to matters like decay and dental damage, and even to issues with your bite function!
