Many adults find that having dental implants is almost like having natural teeth. When you lose your teeth due to tooth decay, a disease, or a traumatic injury, your self-esteem and smile can take a hit. Dental implants are strong, stable teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
A dental implant is a metal post or frame that Dr. Moawad surgically attaches to your jawbone, beneath your gums. The metal post becomes a permanent base for a replacement tooth.
A dental implant is like an artificial tooth root. Once the post has been installed and your mouth has fully healed, a process that generally takes a few weeks, Dr. Moawad will mount a custom-made crown (replacement tooth) onto the metal post. The implants fuse to your jawbone, so they are strong, stable, and don’t shift in your mouth.
These metal posts also work to help dentures, crowns, and bridges stay firmly attached to your jaw.
Beyond performing, looking, and feeling like your natural teeth, dental implants offer the following advantages:
If you're missing teeth, you may be an ideal candidate for dental implants. Your jaw needs to be finished growing, and your gums must be healthy. Dental implants are not appropriate for kids, as their mouths have not finished growing. However, implants are an exceptional solution for adults.
You could also be a great implant candidate if you're fed up with uncomfortable dentures, or it's time to replace a bridge or partial dentures. Women or men in search of a more permanent, long-lasting solution to dental work tend to be great candidates for dental implants. Wondering if dental implants are right for you? Meet with Dr. Moawad to ask questions and learn more about your options.
It's time to take the first step toward a more confident smile and a more confident you. Request an appointment online or call Dental Arts of Edgewater today.
