Most people are justifiably proud of their smiles and when they lose a tooth or damage one beyond repair, the experience can easily shatter ones confidence. It can be very embarrassing to constantly hide your smile behind your hand and a missing tooth can make a person look older than they are. Years ago, replacement treatments were dentures or some sort of bridge, today however, an Atlanta implant dentist can change all that and leave the patient with permanent teeth that look as real and natural as the natural tooth it replaced.
Dental implants actually fuse the implant to the jaw bone. Implants are an ideal solution for tooth loss for those who have good oral health and healthy gums which are necessary to support the implant. The implants are integral with the bone, they can last a lifetime and it takes no time at all for the patient to forget it’s there.
There are a host of benefits to dental implants, for the person who is healthy and has an oral cavity right for the procedure the rate of success is remarkably high. When a tooth is extracted, the gum eventually shrinks away, with implants this is not the case as the implant is fitted right into the bone. Unlike bridges or dentures, there is no need to disturb the teeth on either side of the implant site. When you are finished with the Atlanta implant dentist no one will ever guess that the tooth is not natural.
Dental Implants Toronto do not have to stop at one, many teeth can be done, as a matter of fact; every tooth can be replaced with an implant. In many cases the number of implants that can be done is based on the amount of bone in the jaw. In most people, the area at the back of the mouth has less bone in the jaw; this makes implants in these locations a less attractive option. The fact that the sinus cavities are located in this area is also problematic.
The Atlanta implant dentist can implant a tooth in patients of any age; the procedure itself takes a few months as the pin that is embedded into the jaw bone has to become one with the jaw. During the process, the dentist will fit the patient with a temporary tooth or teeth.
