Even if you happen to be suffering from missing teeth, Dr. Heinle is highly trained and experienced in dental implant surgery.  Having a missing tooth isn’t purely a cosmetic issue though – it can cause health problems as well. With a missing tooth, the surrounding teeth can shift out of place, causing the biting surface of the teeth to be misaligned. Missing your natural teeth can also lead to bone loss, which can make permanent restoration difficult. This can lead to even more dental problems and breakage of the teeth as well. Fortunately, we offer a solution in the form of dental implants.

An Advanced Method of Tooth Restoration

While nothing’s able to perfectly take the place of a healthy set of natural teeth, dental implants are the closest thing possible. Dental implants have been used for decades now and are only increasing in popularity. According to a survey by the American Dental Association, over 1.5 million dental implants were just placed over the span of a year – and that’s a number that keeps growing.

Dental implants offer a comprehensive solution to teeth that are missing from trauma, injury, or any congenital conditions. A dental implant is made from surgical grade titanium, a metal that’s well-accepted by the body and one that will form a strong bond with the natural bone in order to create a stable foundation. Dental implants are surgically implanted into the jaw and after healing, a post will be placed on it that allows a crown to replicate your missing tooth. A dental implant is meant to act as a natural tooth root and it will work in the exact same way as your other teeth.

Why You Should Choose Dental Implants

One of the benefits of dental implants is that only the missing tooth or teeth need to be involved in the restoration process. Unlike other restorative dentistry treatments where other teeth need to be fitted for crowns in order to accommodate the replacement tooth, dental implants allow the surrounding teeth to remain untouched, keeping their strength and integrity.

Dental implants are flexible in their usage as they can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even help support a full set of dentures. Implants can also be used to support a bridge when several teeth are missing.

Dental implants are also the longest-lasting and most durable form of tooth restoration. With proper care, a dental implant can last a lifetime! It’s important to make sure that you brush, floss, and treat your dental implant the same way that you do all your other teeth.
