Is a missing tooth driving you crazy? Some patients find it makes them talk with a lisp or a whistle. They don’t like hiding it in pictures, during presentations, or when meeting new people.
Let’s get it taken care of quickly. At your local dentist office in San Jose, you can get a single tooth implant in our one-stop shop. Every step of the process is available in a convenient location. Call Advanced Dentistry by Design for a free consultation.
Benefits of Dental Implants at Advanced Dentistry by Design
Dental implants are part of a long-lasting solution when you need new teeth; but what are dental implants?
Each implant is a new tooth root that can hold a single new tooth. It is made of extremely durable and safe titanium, which will last the rest of your life—an amazing investment.
When you get the dental implant process at our dental clinic, you’ll see some advantages pretty quickly:
- Your speech problems should improve when an empty socket is filled with a front tooth implant.
- You’ll be treated by dentists who love the Bay Area and the people who live here.
- Your new single tooth will be stable.
- You’ll get back to eating your favorite foods.
- You won’t have an empty socket susceptible to infection anymore.
- You’ll get your confidence back when interacting with other people.
- Your new single tooth will look natural and real with your other teeth.
- Your implant will be set to last for the rest of your life and used for other oral health purposes besides replacing the single tooth.
Your dental specialist will be happy to attach a single new tooth to an implant through an implant abutment. Plus, in the future, we can use the same implant for a dental bridge or implant-supported dentures (along with other new implants).
How to Replace Teeth That I’ve Lost?
There are a few tooth replacement options available to patients these days. You could get:
- A Traditional Dental Bridge: A small appliance that rests on modified teeth on either side of a socket, holding a full new tooth crown in place.
- An Implant-Supported Bridge: A short appliance that holds one or more teeth and is supported by one or more implants.
- A Single Tooth Implant: A custom-made tooth crown attached to a single implanted tooth root.
Your family dentist at Advanced Dentistry by Design can give you the evaluation, scans, and even implant surgery in one location to place your tooth implant. Get a free consultation soon—to avoid infections and other complications.
Is Jawbone Deterioration Serious?
When you lose a tooth, it’s not just an aesthetic issue. The jawbone under the empty socket also suffers. Why? What happens?
Well, the body starts to see that area as an unimportant drain on resources and lets the jawbone shrink to fit the fewer amount of teeth. It reabsorbs the bone gradually. This can lead to:
- The structure of the face changing, which includes sagging.
- A change to the shape of your bite.
- Painful chewing.
- Wrinkles around the mouth.
- Reduced support to the lips.
- Shifting of the teeth near the socket.
- Changes in the sound of your speech.
- Headaches and jaw pain.
Here’s great news: The tooth implant process stops this deterioration. It stimulates the bone to keep it strong. The body sends nutrients to the area and builds new bone material there. The facial structure can even look a little more youthful for some patients.
