Dental Implant Restoration Smyrna GATooth loss is a big deal. The loss of even just one tooth, even if it is out of sight when you smile, can pose several significant complications. This is because the teeth do more than just provide you with a beautiful smile. At Reich Dental Center, we can replace a missing tooth with dental implants. Dental implants are a restorative dentistry procedure. Effects of Tooth LossLosing a tooth can have several significant effects on not only your mouth but your quality of life as well. Effects of tooth loss include:
What is a Dental Implant?A dental implant is one of the best options for replacing missing teeth. It is a treatment that uses a titanium post to provide support for a replacement crown. The post is surgically implanted into your jaw. During the recovery process, your bone fuses to the post in a natural process called osseointegration. This process stabilizes the post in your jaw, turning it into a strong, secure replacement root. Replacing Your Missing TeethPlacing a dental implant requires a surgical procedure. Before undergoing surgery, you will first have a CBCT scan, which will help the doctor performing your implant surgery by giving an in-depth look at your jawbone to determine optimal implant placement. The scan will also show whether there is a need for a bone graft or other surgery to ensure your new implant is successful. The implant procedure is typically done under a local anesthetic. Sedation can also be provided for patients who are anxious, fearful or have trouble relaxing or sitting still. Once you have fully healed from implant surgery, a process that can take several months, the process for placing your final restoration begins. First, the temporary teeth are removed an abutment, or connector, is placed on the implant post. We then take an impression of your mouth. The impression is sent to our dental lab, where it is used to bring your permanent dental restoration to life. Once it is complete, we check it for fit and bite. If no adjustments are necessary, the tooth is screwed into place. The Benefits of Dental ImplantsDental implants provide several significant benefits.
