Do you have a missing tooth that needs replacement? If so, then we could help with a custom and lifelike tooth replacement. In today’s blog, your team at Grinnell Street Dental talks about replacing missing teeth with dental implants in Sheridan, WY.
The Causes of Tooth Loss
The factors behind your tooth loss could include tooth decay, dental infection, or an injury to your face or jaw. The most common cause tends to be periodontal disease, which can lead to a stage known as periodontitis, one that severs the connective tissues between the teeth and gums. When you have lost teeth, don’t let your oral health and quality of life suffer. Talk to our team about help with implant dentistry. Our team will examine your smile to assess the cause of your tooth loss and manage the underlying cause if needed. We then choose the best area to insert your posts, starting you on the path to a full smile again!
Placing Your Dental Implants
Dental implants act like new roots essentially. We will insert a biocompatible titanium post into the jaw, where the body will accept it as root structure. Once in place, this bonds with the jawbone and keeps surrounding structure strong and intact. This means your new tooth has the potential to last for years to come, decades or possibly a lifetime in some cases. We can offer an individual dental implant, or use several of them to support a bridge or even a complete set of fixed dentures!
Restoring Your New Tooth
When your jaw root is in place, we will add an abutment that will extend above the gum line. We then attach a crown, a restoration we custom-make for your tooth. This will look natural and provide a durable chewing surface and a balanced bite. If you have more severe cases of tooth loss, we could instead create a bridge to attach to one to two posts. We could also use several posts per arch to support a full set of new and lifelike teeth. You can smile with confidence and enjoy your best possible smile!
