We know the importance of a full smile, and how losing your natural teeth can lead to both short-term and long-term issues for your smile. To provide a solution, we can offer lifelike replacement by completing your new teeth with dental implant restorations. In today’s blog, your West Allis, WI, dentist talks about treating missing teeth and ensuring lifelike results.
The Need for Tooth Replacement
When do you need to see our team to discuss replacing missing teeth? When you lose even one tooth, we hope you will see us right away. But if years have elapsed between losing your teeth and now, we can still help you obtain a full smile. Our team will take a close look at your smile with precision and accuracy, using the latest in advanced digital imaging technology to assess the best place to insert your new tooth roots, choosing the best angle, position, and depth. Our team will also look at underlying issues, such as gum disease, which we may need to manage to keep your new teeth in place! Finally, we will complete your new tooth with custom dental implant restorations.
Dental Implants
These are very small screw-like posts that are made from titanium, a biocompatible material the body accepts as natural root structure. We will surgically insert these into your jawbone, where they bond with the bone and act like new roots. This means your new tooth has the potential to last for decades to come, possibly a lifetime. In comparison, traditional bridges and removable dentures need to be removed every five to ten years. Once we insert your post, we will complete it with a custom dental implant restoration.
Dental Implant Restorations
The restoration is a crown that we custom-make for your smile to ensure you have a balanced bite and to ensure the restoration looks natural and blends with the rest of your smile. We attach this to the implant post with an abutment, and you have a complete tooth that looks and functions, like a natural one. We can also custom-make crowns to repair damage, improve bite balance, and take on decayed or infected teeth.
If you have suffered from tooth loss and want a new tooth that looks and functions like a natural one, then talk to our team about dental implant restorations. We can also discuss repairing your tooth with a custom crown, so you can enjoy optimal health, function, and beauty in your smile again.
