If you are missing teeth, there is a solution to restore your smile. Whether you're looking to replace just one tooth or a complete set of teeth, our Lynn dentists can help.
Dental implants are a popular option to replace missing teeth. They are designed to look and function like natural teeth. These implants are made from titanium and porcelain and are surgically placed into the jawbone. During the healing process, new bone grows around the implant. After the osseointegration process, the implant is topped with a ceramic restoration that looks and functions like a natural tooth.
Missing teeth can affect your health, appearance, and self-esteem. It can also lead to significant oral health complications. A gap in your smile can make eating and speaking challenging and cause your bite to shift. Fortunately, dental implants are a long-term solution to replace teeth.
The first step in replacing a missing tooth is determining if you are a candidate for dental implants. This is done by examining your teeth and gums and consulting an experienced oral surgeon.
A consultation is an excellent way to determine if you are a good candidate for implants. You may be able to avoid the procedure altogether, or you may be referred to another treatment if you are not a candidate.
