Missing teeth impair oral function, make a person look older, and can cause bite misalignment and contribute to jawbone deterioration. However, some patients don't feel comfortable in dentures. Others prefer a more conservative option than traditional crown and bridgework. If you're looking for a dependable, conservative solution to replace missing teeth, consider dental implants.
Dr. Carter often recommends dental implants to replace missing teeth or to anchor bridgework, partials, or dentures. A dental implant consists of a small titanium screw placed into the jaw. After a single crown or multiple-tooth prosthetic is secured to the screw(s), dental implants function like natural teeth. The false root and crown mimic natural tooth structure, creating a solid solution that looks and feels natural. Dental implant patients experience new quality of life, eating whatever they like and speaking clearly, confidently.
