Restorative elements of dental implants for Peoria residents

Peoria Residents Smile Bigger with Restorative Elements of Dental Implants

implant dentistry peoria az
Are you missing one or more teeth?  Dental implants have frequently become the best treatment option for replacing missing teeth.  Instead of resting on the gum line like removable dentures, dental implants are long-term replacements that one of our Peoria area cosmetic dentists will surgically place in your jawbone.  Implants are designed to look and act like your natural teeth.
 
Tooth loss can occur for various reasons including neglecting your teeth and gums with a poor diet and poor oral hygiene, while athletes are more prone to lose teeth, as well, because they experience trauma and more contact.  Tooth loss can have a substantial impact on a person’s self-esteem due to the aesthetic implications.  In addition, it can also cause bite problems and difficulties eating if not treated correctly and immediately. Dental implants require diligent oral hygiene to ensure they last a long time, but with proper care, can bring you your most natural and beautiful smile yet.
 

Upper Jaw Implants

There are instances in which you may not be able to comfortably wear an upper denture because of pain or a persistent feeling of gagging.  For those who are exhibiting difficulties with the transition from their own teeth to an upper denture, implants may be the proper solution.  Dental implants are small titanium cylinders that are surgically inserted into the bone of the jaw to replace the roots of your missing teeth.  Bone in your upper jaw is continually lost when teeth have been lost.  When implants are used, they help to stabilize the bone. 
 

Lower Jaw Dental Implants

When you lose teeth in your lower jaw, the bone continually recedes.  There are nerves that pass through the holes in the jaw that can end up on the surface of your bone, which cause a great deal of pain when you bite down.  It is usually possible to place implants into your lower jaw.  This is performed by connecting the implants with a bar and keeping the denture from rocking and shifting.  A denture can still be removed for easy access and at-home cleaning of the implants and bar.  The support of the implants will help to keep the pressure off the bone and nerves, in addition to stopping bone loss in the jaw that continues once the teeth have been lost.                                                                                                          
 

Single Tooth Dental Implants

A single tooth implant can prevent a chain reaction of problems that could affect your entire mouth.  Your teeth need each other for support and when a tooth is lost, it changes the biting forces on the teeth next to the space in which you lost your tooth.  When a tooth no longer has something to chew against, it begins to extrude out of the socket and you can eventually end up losing that tooth as well. 
 
A missing tooth can bring about negative consequences for your smile, but with dental implants, replacing your missing teeth can improve your smile immensely.  Visit Your Family Dentist, PC in Peoria for a proper consultation for replacement of your missing teeth.  Remember, dental implants are not for everyone, but with proper consultation and diagnosis from one of our Peoria, AZ dentists, a treatment will be created.
