Dental Implants
When you’ve lost a tooth, due to disease, decay or injury, it can be difficult to eat, speak clearly, or even smile with confidence. The experienced professionals at Advanced Sedation Dentistry, located in both Virginia Beach and Chesapeake, can replace missing teeth by installing one or more implants for you and help you recover your smile.
Should I replace my missing tooth with an implant?
It’s your decision, but here are some things to consider:
- If you don’t replace your tooth, surrounding teeth may compensate for the space and start shifting.
- Your smile may be disfigured.
- Proper chewing and speaking may be affected.
Is it better to get a dental implant or a bridge?
Of course, your dentist should advise you after an assessment of your teeth, giving you all available options. But here’s a general comparison of the two options: A bridge will fill the space due to a missing tooth by capping the two adjacent teeth; these teeth will need to be filed down so the bridge piece can fit over them. An implant doesn’t affect surrounding teeth and, because it’s implanted, will help maintain healthy jaw bone structure as it acts like a natural tooth root.
Do dental implants work like real teeth?
Dental implants allow you to eat, laugh, sneeze, speak and live as if they are your real, natural teeth. Not only are they reliable tooth restoration, dental implant surgery is also the strongest tooth replacement option.
What are the pros and cons of dental implants?
While each person is different and may have particular needs, here are some general pros and cons of dental implants…
Pros:
- Dental implants last a long time, depending on your oral hygiene.
- That said, you don’t have to do anything special to care for them; treat them just like the rest of your teeth.
- Even though they’re artificial teeth, they look and feel natural, just like your real teeth.
- They help keep your jaw bone structure strong.
Cons:
- You have to have good jaw bone structure.
- The process can be lengthy; an anchor needs to be implanted and healed before the artificial tooth can be placed.
- The procedure can be more expensive than other options.
How long does a dental implant last?
Dental implants are a long-lasting tooth replacement solution. Although you may need to replace the crowns every 10 to 15 years, if you look after your implants, they can last a lifetime.
