Dental Implants Give You the Freedom to Smile

July 9, 2018

After a comprehensive dental exam to make sure you qualify, our periodontist will describe the process of receiving dental implants in Berkeley, CA in detail with you. As long as your jawbone is strong and healthy, our dental professional will place the implant, which is a titanium post, into the jawbone. The bone will need to heal around the implant, which can take a few months. Finally, an abutment and crown are placed on top.

It is an intensive process, but with the Fourth of July fast approaching, dental implants can also provide you with the confidence to smile big and wide.

Dental Implants Look Completely Natural

There is no need for dentures or bridges when you can have an implant inserted in your smile. They also restore your full chewing power, so you can continue to eat all your favorite foods. When you have a tooth missing, you cannot eat such Fourth of July staples as chips, popcorn and corn on the cob. Dental implants give you the freedom to eat whatever you want, and the Fourth of July is all about freedom.

Dental Implants Keep Other Teeth Stable

You have more to worry about than showing off a gap in your smile in any pictures taken. When a tooth is lost, the neighboring teeth will shift out of place to accommodate for the extra space. Not only will misaligned teeth look aesthetically-displeasing, but they will also cause headaches and other types of discomfort.

Dental Implants Prevent Bone Loss

Due to no stimulation, the empty space in the mouth caused by a missing tooth will become resorbed back into the body. In fact, you can lose as much as 25 percent of the bone tissue in the affected area within the first year of the tooth going missing. This necessitates the need to seek dental implants immediately.
