Do you have an extracted tooth?
If the tooth had been aching, it may have been a relief. Unless, of course, it was in the front of your mouth and now the gaping hole shows every time you smile. Ignoring it is practically impossible because your tongue can’t leave the gap alone.
I’m Missing a Tooth. Now What?
Once the tooth has been extracted, you have many critical decisions to make.
- Do I want a dental bridge?
- Is a dental bridge a permanent solution?
- Do I want to damage two healthy teeth to anchor the bridge?
- Should I elect a partial denture?
- What about bone loss?
A Better Restoration
What if you could have a fresh start? What if you could have a permanent, natural-looking tooth replacement that would restore your smile and retain the healthy bone and gum tissue around the tooth root? If you select an implant, you can.
A dental implant is a permanent replacement for all parts of the tooth. It is composed of three parts: the titanium post, the abutment, and the restoration.
Titanium Post
โinserted directly into the jaw bone
โquite durable
โtitanium is unique in that it bonds with living bone tissue (also used in knee and hip replacement surgery)
Abutment
โcan be produced of gold, porcelain, or titanium
โpermanently attached to the post (it will not slip and slide like dentures)
The Restoration (Crown)
โusually made of porcelain fused to a metal alloy (PFM)
โmade to match the color of surrounding teeth
โwill look as good or better than the tooth it replaced
A dental implant is not an experimental treatment. The advanced materials and techniques have been tested and refined for several decades.
Furthermore, it has been carried out by Lewisville dentists for over thirty years.
