When teeth go missing, it is important to replace them as soon as possible. In addition to their role in chewing and speaking, teeth are what keep our jawline structured correctly and without them, the jawbone begins to deteriorate. For a permanent tooth replacement option, at Sparks Family Dentistry in Sparks, NV, we offer our patients dental implants.
Dental implants are a permanent solution, meaning that when taken care of, they can last a lifetime. They are surgically implanted so that they bond with the jawbone. This process makes them the closest to a real tooth as you can get.
To begin the implantation process, we will make an incision in your gums to place the titanium implant post into your bone socket. The healing process will take three to six months; so during this time, you will wear a temporary crown for protection. Once the healing process is complete, we will place an abutment on the implant post to serve as the base for the new crown. Then, a custom dental crown is permanently bonded in place. Taking care of a dental implant is just like taking care of your normal teeth. They require routine brushing, flossing, and visits to your dentist for cleanings.
If you are looking to replace a missing tooth and want it replaced once and for all, consider dental implants. To schedule an appointment here at Sparks Family Dentistry in Sparks, NV, call our office at (773) 359-3336 or visit our website, www.sparksfamilydentistry.com.
