Losing a tooth (or multiple teeth) effects much more than your self-confidence. Tooth loss effects equally important aspects of your life such as eating habits and speaking skills. Should you experience tooth loss, your dentist offer safe and effective ways to replace or restore missing teeth or even just a part of a tooth. One of the most common tooth restorations available is the use of dental implants.
Dental implants in Newport News, VA can provide you with strength and stability. They are actually small posts made of metal that act as artificial or replacement tooth roots. They are implanted into the bone socket and are then covered with dental crowns to replace the missing tooth or teeth. These implants allow the proper placement of the replacement teeth while helping to stop if not prevent jaw bone loss.
Dental implantation require Osseo integration to develop a structural and functional connection with the living bone. Osseo integrated dental implants anchor to the jaw bone and heal to become a strong and stable foundation for tooth replacements such as dental crowns.
Once the implantation is done, the patients must commit to diligently maintain required oral hygiene habits. As a patient, you are expected to do preventative care to them as you would your natural teeth and visit your dentist for regular checkups. All these are done to ensure the best possible healing and fusing of the implants with the jawbone.
Consult your dentist at Oyster Point Dentistry to determine the right dental implant treatment plan for you.
