A permanent option to missing teeth is an implant. An implant is a false tooth with a titanium root that is surgically inserted into the jaw. An implant can fill in a gap where one tooth is missing or replace as many missing teeth as needed. The implant can blend in flawlessly with the existing teeth and can be shaded to your preferred tint.
Implants not only change the aesthetics of your smile for the better, they can also help improve function with speech as well as chewing. There are different implants that can suit your needs including a single tooth implant, bridge that is supported by implants, or a full set of teeth for top or bottom.
What Happens at an Appointment
The dentist will discuss with you what is the best plan of action for your individual needs, and explain the entire implant process. Getting implants can take a few visits to complete. Rest assure, the process is painless and the dentist will make sure you are as comfortable as possible. Flexible payment plans can also be discussed.
