If you live in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, you know that your life will benefit in many ways when you have a healthy, beautiful smile. Most people are born with naturally beautiful teeth. However, as time passes, our teeth age along with the rest of our bodies. Also, several things can affect your teeth, including injury, decay, and the foods and beverages you enjoy.
If you experience tooth loss, you know that it has a devastating effect on your health and self-confidence.
There are several benefits to getting dental implants.
When you have missing teeth, you are at risk of gum disease, shifting of remaining teeth, affected speech, and difficulty chewing.
Getting your dental implants in place is a process that requires several visits over months.
The first step in your dental implant process is the initial consultation. Dental implants aren’t the best option for everyone, and your dentist needs to evaluate the state of your mouth, teeth, and gums. In some cases, patients may require bone grafting before they can have their dental implants.
After the consultation, your dentist will place the implants into your jawbone. The implants will be allowed to heal for between three and six months. Once they have healed, you will return to your dentist to have an abutment, which is a connector that holds your restoration to the implant.
Once your implant area is fully healed, your dentist may attach a dental bridge, crown, or dentures to the implants.
