Dental Implants
In the past, if you lost permanent teeth you either had to live with it or wear dentures for the rest of your life. And that’s okay, since today’s modern dentures are a far better prospect than the ones your grandparents may have worn. But imagine if you didn’t have to fiddle with removing, cleaning and replacing dentures each day? That’s the joy that dental implants offer. If you need treatment for missing teeth, talk to us about dental implants in Farmersville, TX.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a permanent solution, based on a small titanium implant that’s surgically placed into the jaw bone. Once the implant is all set—including the healing process—the next piece of the puzzle is the abutment. This is a “connector” piece that joins the implant with the final third piece, the crown. The crown is actually the faux tooth that replaces your missing tooth.
Who Can Get Dental Implants?
Dental implants rely on a certain amount of bone density. Now, here’s where it gets tricky. If your missing tooth has been missing for a while; in other words, if you haven’t sought treatment right away for it, then you may have some bone degeneration. If this is the case, you might still be able to get dental implants after bone rejuvenation. But generally speaking, anyone can get dental implants if the bone has sufficient density.
