While you may be practicing good oral health habits at home such as brushing your teeth and flossing routinely in addition to other steps you may be taking, the fact of the matter is that dental emergencies, infections, cavities, and more may still occur and affect you, and their consequences can be rough. These circumstances may lead to losing a single tooth, a few teeth, or even partial or complete tooth loss altogether. In the event of this, however, our Conroe, Texas dentist at The Dental Centre of Conroe can still help to improve your smile with the help of a dental implant.
When You Have Lost a Tooth
Tooth loss can occur through a myriad of circumstances, from infection and disease that may have progressed before your knowledge of the issue, to dental emergencies such as getting a tooth knocked out and more. When there is not a chance of saving a chipped or broken smile and a gap is formed in your smile, you may want to consider an implant.
A dental implant offers a solution to restore your smile with a natural-looking replica. During the procedure, your oral surgeon will insert a titanium post into your jaw where the replacement will be located. After the post is inserted, the jaw bone will begin to heal around it, forming a tight bond that will cause the titanium post to mimic the bond of a root with the jaw. Following this, the dentist will create a restoration to replace the crown you have lost. When doing so, a color-matched material is used to mimic the color of your smile to ultimately provide a life-like appearance.
When You are Missing a few Teeth
Not only can the restorative process complete your appearance by filling a single gap, but it can be used to address a section of teeth that are missing as well. The process is similar to the one described above, and depending on how many teeth and their relativity to one another, your dentist can provide a partial denture or bridge to complete your smile.
Securing Dentures with Implants
Restorations are not limited to a few teeth, either. If you have undergone complete tooth loss and are considering dentures, it is important to know that you have options there as well. Traditional dentures are created and applied with a paste to secure them to the gums, whereas implant dentures are secured with titanium posts that are strategically placed throughout the gumlines, offering a more secure smile and strong bite.
