For many years, the only available treatment for people who suffer tooth loss were bridges and dentures. However, due to improvements and innovations in dental care, there is now another available alternative called the dental implants.
Dental implants in Newport News VA solve tooth loss problem by replacing tooth roots thereby providing strong foundation for permanent or removable replacement teeth. Our patients who have tried this treatment regain their confidence to smile because the replacement teeth appear so natural that they look and feel like you have not lost any of your teeth.
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are fused into the jawbone and are designed to fuse with it, which is why they become permanent. With the process known as osseointegration, our facial contours will be preserved as the bone integrates with the bio-compatible titanium. This type of treatment does not require reducing other teeth just as what happens with dental bridges. However, tooth-supported bridges can still be an effective alternative for treating missing tooth for those who prefer it than implants. It is also best to consult your dentist to choose the right treatment that can give you the best benefits.
