Tooth loss not only impacts your self-confidence, but could lead to major issues with the function and health of your smile as time passes. But we can offer replacements that look and function like natural teeth, lasting for decades to come in some cases. In today’s blog, your Londonderry, NH, dentist talks about the lifelike qualities of dental implants.

When to See Us for Implant Dentistry

When you have a missing tooth, you should see us for replacement to prevent major complications with your smile. At the same time, if you have lost several or even all of your teeth and years have elapsed, we can still help you obtain a complete smile with implant dentistry. Don’t let missing teeth lead to issues with eating or speech, or the loss of mass and density in the jaw that causes further tooth loss and an older appearance. Our team wants to restore your smile with dental implants, which can help preserve your youthful facial features and keep you smiling!

Your New Roots

The dental implant portions are small posts that are screw-like in appearance. Made from biocompatible titanium, these are inserted surgically into the jawbone. The body accepts them as natural root structure, which allows them to bond with the jawbone. This prevents the loss of mass and density in the jaw, and allows your new teeth to last far longer than traditional bridges or removable dentures. For example, your new roots could remain in place for decades to come, possibly a lifetime, with proper care and attention. Our team uses digital technology to plan and guide the process, so they sit at the perfect angle, position, and depth to support a new smile.

Custom Crowns and Dentures

If we insert an individual dental implant, then we can complete your new tooth with a custom dental crown, one that looks natural and handles daily bite forces and pressures. If you have more substantial tooth loss, then we could place multiple posts in your jaw to support a bridge or even a complete set of dentures, which are fixed in place and last far longer than removable alternatives. Our team can help you smile with confidence again and enjoy your favorite foods!
