How Dental Implants Help Replace Missing Teeth

Dental implants from your dentists in Indian Land, South Carolina can restore your smile beautifully

Are you and your smile suffering because of missing teeth? If so, you need to discover the magic of dental implants! They can replace your missing teeth and restore your smile. Dr. Tiky Swain and Dr. Kimberly Anderson at Doby’s Bridge Dentistry in Indian Land, South Carolina offer a wide range of tooth replacement options, including dental implants to rebuild your smile.

Dental implants look and function just like natural teeth. Treatment begins with the placement of the dental implant screw, which is inserted into your jaw during a simple in-office procedure. During the healing period, the bone will fill in around the dental implant screw and lock it in place. After the area has healed completely and the implant screw is fully embedded in bone, a beautiful new implant crown is placed on top of the dental implant screw. You now have a new “tooth” that is virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth.

People choose dental implants because of the important benefits they offer. Consider that dental implants are:

• Naturally beautiful, because dental implant crowns are made of light-reflective materials that look just like natural tooth enamel
• Completely stable, because dental implants are firmly embedded in the bone so they will never move around
• Easy to maintain, because you can brush and floss dental implants just like natural teeth
• Convenient, because dental implants are a permanent part of your smile that you never remove

Dental implants may also help you look younger because they conserve the bone in your jaws and your face, giving you a firm jawline and more youthful facial contours and fullness.

Dental implants are also the most successful surgical implant, boasting a success rate of over 95 percent, according to the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. Whether you need to replace a single missing tooth or several missing teeth, dental implants are an excellent choice for you. They can also provide firm support for a denture, which is snapped in place over the implants.

Dental implants can replace your missing teeth and give you back your smile. To find out more about dental implants, call Dr. Tiky Swain and Dr. Kimberly Anderson of Doby’s Bridge Dentistry in Indian Land, South Carolina at (803) 650-6323. Call now, and take back your smile!
