When a tooth is lost, the surrounding teeth can drift, leading to bite problems, “TMJ”, difficulty chewing, and more. In the past, the only option for replacing a missing tooth was a bridge. Today, we are able to replace missing teeth utilizing dental implants. An implant is basically made up of two parts: a screw that is placed in the bone and acts like a root, and the tooth, which is built on top of the screw. An implant can replace one tooth, or all of your teeth. Implants can be fixed in your mouth, like natural teeth, or can be used under dentures and partials to make them more stable.
You can lose teeth for a variety of reasons, ranging from gum disease to injury. However, your smile does not have to suffer. With a dental implant, you can replace anywhere from one tooth to your entire mouth.
