A missing tooth present many problems, cosmetic as well as functional. Not only does a missing tooth leave an unattractive gap in your smile, it can make chewing your favorite foods difficult, and even affect speech. The jawbone can also atrophy due to lack of purpose, which can then lead to additional tooth loss, and even a change in facial features. If you've lost a tooth due to accident, injury, or dental disease, you now have a strong, beautiful alternative to fixed brides, partials, or dentures: dental implants.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants replace a missing tooth from the root up. During a short oral surgery, a small titanium post is implanted into the jaw and acts as the tooth root. As nature takes its course, your jawbone fuses with the titanium post creating a solid foundation. After the implant heals, a beautiful prosthetic tooth is attached to the post. Designed to match the size, shape, and color of your existing, teeth, the dental implant will blend seamless with your smile, returning the ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
If you are missing a tooth, or several teeth, talk to Dr. Ganji. After a thorough examination, we can determine if you have the bone density and good oral health required for dental implants. Strong and secure, your new smile will enhance your appearance and improve your quality of life.
