Missing teeth can make you feel frustrated and take away from your overall quality of life, but there is an effective replacement option with <\/span>dental implants<\/span><\/a> in Wakefield. Titanium posts that are implanted directly beneath the gum line, dental implants are the premiere method of tooth replacement. In this week\u2019s blog post, let\u2019s put the spotlight on just how they work — specifically, how many teeth can be replaced with implant dentistry.<\/span>\n\n\n

Implant-Retained Crown<\/span><\/h2>\nA single dental implant can be placed to fill the gap left by one missing tooth. The implant post will be placed in the empty socket and then allowed to heal over a period of several months. You may need to have a ridge augmentation procedure performed after the extraction or loss of a single tooth. This treatment preserves the arched shape of the tooth socket to create a sturdy foundation for the dental implants. <\/span>\n\nOnce the recovery period is complete after implantation, you return to your dentist\u2019s office to begin the restoration of the single implant. If you had a temporary tooth replacement placed, it is removed and a connecting abutment is placed on top of the implant. Impressions are taken and a customized dental crown is crafted in a separate lab. The process usually takes one two weeks, and then you return to the office for the final restoration of the dental implant. <\/span>\n

A Solution for Multiple Teeth, Too<\/span><\/h2>\nMaybe you\u2019re missing more than one tooth — dental implants can still provide a wonderful solution. A partial bridge fills the gaps left by multiple teeth when there are still some healthy ones remaining in the gum line. For an entire arch of missing teeth in the upper and\/or lower jaw, there are complete implant-retained dentures. Both of these implant-retained options can be fixed or removable, depending on your unique needs and personal preference.<\/span>\n\nChoosing an implant solution is especially important for multiple missing teeth. When you have lost a tooth, your jaw also lacks the stimulation it needs to stay healthy and strong — and it will gradually deteriorate. When several teeth have been lost, disintegration of healthy bone tissue occurs even more rapidly. <\/span>\n\nBecause dental implants give you back a missing tooth\u2019s root as well as its visible crown, they stimulate the jawbone and bring necessary blood flow and nutrients to the area. That makes it easier for your smile to stay healthy and whole for a lifetime to come. <\/span>\n

Are You a Candidate?<\/span><\/h2>\nTo conclude, it doesn\u2019t matter how many teeth you have lost — dental implants replace them all. Many adults are good candidates for implant dentistry; don\u2019t wait to find out if you are eligible, too. Get in touch with your implant dentist to discuss how dental implants can complete your smile today! <\/span>\n
