You might hesitate to find a dentist near you if you lost one of the teeth located in the back of the mouth. Many people don’t bother replacing teeth that don’t show when they smile.
Unfortunately, your smile will become affected. Gaps will appear between teeth as they spread away from each other now that there’s extra space for them to move.
Patients with multiple missing teeth can find it hard to speak as the movement of the tongue against teeth plays a role in speech. Biting and chewing can also be troublesome. In the elderly, we worry about the risk of malnutrition.
Dental implants are made of a screw and an artificial tooth. The screw is placed into the jawbone and is used to anchor the artificial tooth. It will take several months for the screw to become firmly attached to the jawbone. During this time, we’ll place a temporary artificial tooth over it. After fixation, we’ll replace the temporary tooth with a permanent one.
We can also help patients who already have implants with restoration. If the artificial tooth becomes damaged while the screw is intact, we’ll simply replace it. Problems affecting the screw will be more complicated to treat. We have all the tools and experience to take care of your dental health and implants.

Depending on your teeth and whether a root canal can save a damaged tooth, it may be better to get implants. If you have most of your teeth, and a root canal can save a tooth, then the root canal is the better choice.
In most cases, implants are not covered by dental insurance because they are considered a cosmetic procedure; however, depending on your plan, some portion of the process may be able to be covered.
There are three stages to the dental implant process, usually. The first stage is preparing the mouth to receive the implants, including removing any teeth that need to come out. Next, the posts are inserted into the gumline surgically. Finally, the prosthetic crown is attached, and the procedure is complete.
No, thanks to anesthesia, there is typically no dental implant procedure pain, and you can manage the recovery process with over-the-counter medications.
Implants are a great investment if you’re looking for a permanent solution to tooth loss.
