Here are some of the unique benefits of getting dental implants.
Tooth loss is certainly not something that anyone should ignore. If you are missing one or more permanent teeth, then you may be wondering if dental implants are right for you. Our Lewisburg, PA, dentists Drs. Dustin and Brooke Snyder offer a wide range of tooth replacement options including dental implants. Want to know about dental implants? We can help with that.
What is a dental implant?
Implants are a lifelong restoration that fuses with bone and tissue, making it easy for our Lewisburg family dentists to replace one or more missing teeth. An implant consists of three parts,
- The metal post, which replaces the tooth roots
- The abutment, which connects the implant to the crown
- The artificial tooth, typically a dental crown
What can a dental implant do for me?
There are many advantages to getting a dental implant including,
- Preserving the overall shape and strength of the jawbone
- Maintaining the natural shape of the face
- Filling gaps to prevent natural teeth from shifting into open gaps
- Supporting facial muscles and preventing premature wrinkles and sagging skin
- A lifelong restoration that functions and looks just like a natural tooth
- Fully restoring chewing and biting strength
- Greatly improving your appearance and boosting your confidence
- A false tooth with an extremely high success rate
Most healthy adults are great candidates for dental implants regardless of whether they are missing one or multiple teeth. When you come into the office for a consultation, we will take X-rays to look at the health and strength of the jawbone and to make sure that your gums and remaining teeth are also healthy enough for treatment.
