If you are missing one or all of your teeth, you might not feel like smiling much. When teeth fall out from periodontal disease, excessive decay, or injury, this can hurt your self-esteem and leave your confidence at an all-time low. Fortunately, here at Dr. Bayon Family Dentistry, our team of professionals is committed to helping Worcester, MA, patients achieve the best version of their smile. That is why we can help you rebuild yours with dental implants.
What Is a Dental Implant?
Dental implants offer full mouth reconstruction and act as artificial tooth roots to help stop or prevent bone loss. Simply put, a dental implant consists of three parts, a base, a connector, and a dental crown. The base is placed into the jawbone, and the connector is used to attach this piece to the dental crown. Each of these materials works together to restore your tooth back to its natural function, so you can eat what you want to eat, and say what you need to say, without thinking twice.
Advantages of Dental Implants
Dental implants provide many benefits to patients who choose to move forward with this restorative treatment option.
- They are durable and built to last a lifetime
- Protect facial structure and surrounding teeth
- They look, feel, and function like your natural teeth
- Peace of mind to eat, speak and smile without worry
The Process for Placing Dental Implants
The process slightly differs for each type of dental implant, but you can expect the same steps for each procedure. At our office in Worcester, VA, one of our professionals will replace the area of the missing tooth with a small titanium post. Once the titanium post is surgically inserted, a dental crown that mirrors a natural tooth will be attached. It will take a few months for your dental implant to fuse with the jawbone, but you will have regular visits to our office to ensure success.
