When you have lost a tooth, or more than one, you need replacement teeth to avoid major complications. With dental implants, we not only fill the gap in your smile, but we preserve your jawbone in the process. At your Farmington, MI, dental office, we explain how we can plan and place your dental implants using advanced technology.
When to Seek Dental Implants
When should you talk to our team about dental implants? When you lose a tooth, even a single one, you should contact our team to talk about dental implants. Even minor tooth loss can lead to complications for your smile, such as misalignment, TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding), limited meal options, and even speech difficulties. You could also develop an aged appearance as your jawbone weakens due to the missing roots. With implant dentistry, we can take on minor or advanced tooth loss, so you can smile without hesitation again!
Placement with Advanced Technology
From the first steps to the last, our team will employ advanced technology at all levels. This means we can replace your missing teeth in-house, with no need for you to go to other practices. To start, we will take CBCT images of your smile, using this 3D computer imaging system to assess the state of your jaw and choose the best angles, positions, and depths to insert your new roots. With these images, we also create a 3D surgical guide to ensure your posts are inserted correctly, with a less invasive approach than traditional dental implant placement procedures.
Completing Your New Tooth
Once we have inserted your new implant post or posts, we will address the visible portion of your smile. 3D printing technology means we can create a dental restoration that is custom-made for your smile to fit comfortably and also offer a lifelike appearance that blends with your smile. The restoration can also handle daily bite forces and pressures with ease. If you have multiple missing teeth, then we could create bridges and even dentures that look natural and offer durable tooth replacement, so you can smile with confidence and eat your favorite foods again.
If you have any questions about the implant placement process, or if you have missing teeth that need immediate attention, then contact our team today to get started. Let’s make 2025 the year you obtain a full and beautiful smile, starting with your initial consultation.
