Dental implants are a great way to bridge the gaps that missing teeth create in your smile. Besides the aesthetic benefits of replacing your confidence in your smile, they also help keep the structure of your jawbone intact. There are several reasons why you might consider getting dental implants.
Missing Teeth or Tooth
Having a missing tooth or missing teeth is the most common reason for patients to opt for dental implants. A dental implant is matched to your unique smile so that your new tooth or teeth look as if they had always been with you.
Infected Tooth
Infected teeth have the ability to be saved through certain procedures. Having said that, there are times when the infection will cause the tooth to be extracted. If a tooth cannot be saved, dental implants are a great substitute. Once your tooth is removed, the dental implant can take its place. It will be strong and solid, just like your real tooth once was.
Cracked Tooth
Unfortunately there are not too many options when a tooth or several teeth crack. Essentially we can either insert a dental crown or a dental implant. Ideally, Dr. Coccaro will try his best to preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible but that is not always feasible. There are times when teeth break below the gingival line and the only option is extraction. In this type of scenario, dental implants are a wonderful option.
Loose Dentures
If you are experiencing loose dentures, please know that you are not alone. It is unfortunate that so many patients experience this. If a denture cannot be corrected with relines or making a better fitting appliance, one of the best options to resolve this issue are dental implants.
An Alternative to Removable Teeth
Dental implants are secured into your jawbone. The jawbone actually fuses with the insert as it would with your natural teeth. This can provide better function for chewing, speaking, smiling and even for the overall appearance of your smile!
Dental implants can seem intimidating to some patients. The truth is that there are many benefits to them. Dental implants can help you gain your confidence back through your smile!
