Don't Feel Self Conscious Over Missing Teeth
Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. At Todd Denson DMD PA, we create beautiful looking teeth with dental implants that are as strong and durable as natural teeth.
Living with missing teeth can be embarrassing for most people and it can lower your confidence. Also the space that missing teeth create can easily become infected with bacteria and cause other teeth to shift out of place. That can make it difficult for you to speak or eat correctly.
Dr. Denson and his staff are sensitive to the hardship a missing tooth can create. Regain your self-confidence, improve health, and approach life boldly again.
The Implant Installation Process
Dental implants are a complex procedure that allows us to replace your missing teeth in a safe and natural way. We are happy to discuss if this procedure is right for you. Dr. Denson uses the latest dental technology and state-of-the-art equipment to improve the overall experience of our patients.
Dr. Denson will examine your mouth and jawbone to determine if the procedure is right for you. If you have any existing cavities or signs of gum disease, we will need to treat it prior to the dental implant procedure.
We will then take an impression of your mouth to create a new tooth in a dental lab. Each replacement tooth will match the size and shape of the surrounding teeth, along with having a natural color and match.
Although teeth restored with implants will not get cavities, you still need to brush, floss and care for it and your surrounding natural teeth in the same manner as natural teeth along with regular professional cleanings and dental checkups with us.
Dental Prosthetics
The implant is a metal post installed under the gum line. This part of the procedure is what sets an implant apart from other forms of cosmetic dentistry. The metal post is secured to the jawbone in order to create a durable, synthetic root system. It's much stronger than natural teeth and cannot get infected by oral bacteria.
Several months after the procedure, the metal post and jawbone will fuse together. After that, Dr. Denson will secure the new synthetic tooth to the metal post at the surface of your gums. Once the new tooth is attached securely, go ahead and eat your favorite foods and return to your normal life without fear of your tooth becoming loose or falling out.
Caring for Your Dental Prosthetics and Implants
It's easy to keep your dental prosthetics or implants in good condition. You do not have to worry if your implant will fall out as long as you brush and floss your teeth properly. Since the dental prosthetics is installed by creating a synthetic root system that means your implant is durable and secure.
In order to care for your implant, we advise patients to brush and floss their teeth as normal. Additionally, it is important to schedule dental exams and cleanings at least twice a year. The dental prosthetics cannot become infected, but the teeth and gums can if not cared for properly.
If you suffer from a severe case of gum disease or a dental abscess, the infection can spread to your jawbone. This puts your implants in jeopardy because, in order to stay secure, the jawbone must be in good health.
