Losing teeth can be painful, but a cosmetic dentist can
help. In years past when someone lost a
tooth their only option was to wear a full or partial set of dentures in order
to have some functionality where that tooth once was. Dentures can be an effective option, but they
can also be uncomfortable and pop out of place when eating or talking. Fortunately, there is a better way.
We can restore the teeth that you have lost. Losing teeth is nothing to be embarrassed
about. Statistically 70 percent of
adults will lose teeth in their lifetime.
For some this may be a single tooth here or there. For others, it is all of their teeth. Whatever the case may be you are not alone, and
you don’t have to live without your teeth.
As a cosmetic dentist, we offer implant dentistry, bridges,
and dentures, all of which can restore what you have lost. When you lose a tooth, schedule an
appointment with Vista Dental Care and Specialty Center so that we can
inspect the area and recommend treatment options. Every patient has different
health concerns, and there is no one size fits all dental treatment. Each treatment plan must be made based on the
specific patients, their health, and their goals. For example, you have lingering gum disease
having a dental implant installed would not be wise, it would be better to
start with dentures or temporary false teeth while any gum disease treatments
were completed. For this reason, it is
essential for you to have a consultation, dental examination, and teeth
cleaning prior to discussing the best way to improve your teeth.
Our goal is to give you a gorgeous smile, full
functionality, and help you to maintain long term oral health. It is important to address any ongoing health
concerns prior to completing a cosmetic dentistry procedure. Otherwise, your new teeth could also become
infected. Healing first, appearance
second.
Once you are cleared as healthy our cosmetic dentist can
begin installing the implants. This is a
three part process. First, a metal piece
is implanted underneath your gum line and screwed into your jaw bone. Eventually, it will fuse to the bone itself
and create a durable synthetic root system. A second metal piece is attached to
the first at the surface of your gum line.
This is where the new synthetic tooth is attached.
The synthetic tooth, or teeth, are created in a lab and
made to match the teeth around it. If
all of your teeth are getting redone, they will all be made bright, white and
beautiful. If, however, you are only
replacing one or two teeth you should have a teeth whitening procedure before
you start the process. That way the lab
will create teeth to match white ones, instead of yellow or stained teeth. The implant process can take a few months but
once completed is an excellent way to have full functionality, eat all of your
favorite foods, and take care of your teeth without any additional steps. Call the Vista Dental Care and Specialty
Center today to get started.
