Dental implants are one of the most common and  long lasting treatments for replacing missing teeth. Dental implants function similarly to a real tooth by replacing the missing tooth with an artificial tooth and root. In this process, the root of the tooth is replaced with a titanium screw. It is inserted into the jawbone and attached with an artificial tooth.

The natural appearance of dental implants is one of their greatest advantages. They look very similar to natural teeth and look and work better than bridges and dentures. Compared to other treatments for replacing missing teeth, dental implants have a significantly more natural appearance.
 
Dental implants are easy and a more convenient solution than other options for most patients. They can also be used as a support for dentures because the titanium root is securely screwed into the jaw. Today, most dentists are choosing implants to replace missing teeth and enhance overall appearance.

Though dental implants are more expensive than other treatment options, they last a lifetime when properly cared for making them very cost effective. For one or more missing teeth, consider dental implants for a younger, healthier more natural appearance. Contact Oyster Point Dentistry in Newport News, VA.

Patients need dental crowns for many different reasons some of which are to protect a weak tooth from breaking, to hold together a cracked tooth, to restore an already broken tooth, to make a cosmetic modification, to hold a dental bridge in place or to finish off a root canal.

But these procedures often mean several visits to the dentist office. And we know that taking up your time is inconvenient.

Do you have severely damaged or missing teeth? If you’re looking to create a younger smile and suffer from these dental problems, dental implants can dramatically improve your smile and your teeth. Implants can be used for single or multiple tooth restorations.

Veneers are noninvasive and glued to the fronts of teeth to mask imperfections. Dental implants are a permanent surgical solution for patients who are missing teeth and would otherwise need dentures.

Implants can be used for people who have missing or severely cracked or broken teeth or for those suffering from advanced periodontal disease. In these cases, the tooth needs to be extracted and then replaced with a dental implant.

Because people are living longer and more stressful lives, they are exposing their teeth to many more years of crack inducing habits like clenching, grinding, and chewing on hard objects. These habits make our teeth more susceptible to cracks.

Cracked teeth show a variety of symptoms, including pain when chewing or with temperature extremes.

The tooth hurts because when you chew or move your jaw, the pieces of the tooth move. Irritation is caused by chewing. Eventually the pulp becomes damaged enough that it can no longer repair itself.

For cracks that run underneath the gum and cannot be restored, you may need a dental implant—a tooth that’s surgically anchored into the jaw. Dental implants do wonders in restoring a patient’s confidence and in easing pain while eating. The implant and its results should last a lifetime.

If a tooth is missing or broken to a point that the root is damaged, a titanium artificial root can be implanted in the jaw. After the dental implant bonds with your bone, a crown can be placed over the implant.

A dental implant is used in cosmetic dentistry. It is usually made of titanium, to support restorations that resemble a tooth or group of teeth to replace missing teeth.

All dental implants are similar to an actual tooth root in that they are placed within the bone. The dental implants will then fuse with bone creating a natural looking and a natural feeling tooth. With dental implants, the person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat whatever they want and they can smile with confidence knowing that  their teeth appear natural.

Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They can be used to support a number of dental prostheses, including crowns,  bridges or dentures.

Dental implants change the way people who have lost teeth live.  They help renew self-confidence and the ability to confidently eat, speak, laugh with a full open smile. Contact Oyster Point Dentistry.
