It’s important that you replace missing teeth because all the teeth around it are supported by that tooth. My background’s engineering. We look at the machine, and if part of the machine’s missing, the other parts are gonna have to do more work, and they’re gonna fail sooner. And so that’s one of the main aspects of why we need to get a tooth replaced if we’re missing one. And not only that, but an implant, for example, will replace that single tooth, for example, without addressing the other teeth, so we’re not damaging the other teeth. We place an implant and restore that function, as well as the aesthetics that can be established with that.
Teeth Implants Can Rebuild Your Smile & Change Your Life
If you need to have dental implants placed, we’ll be happy to refer you to a skilled specialist in the area who uses a computer-guided implant placement procedure for predictability and precision. After your implants heal, they’ll be ready to support your new teeth that Dr. Johnson has custom-designed for you using precise 3-D imaging. Your options may include:
- A Single CEREC Crown – Using the CAD/CAM technology of our in-house CEREC system, we can craft your new crown while you wait. It will attach securely to your implant and restore virtually all your chewing power.
- An Implant-Supported Bridge – Unlike standard fixed bridges that anchor to your other teeth, this bridge uses two or more implants for support. It can replace several missing teeth in a row.
- Implant-Retained Dentures – Your new dentures will attach to implants using a snap-and-ball mechanism. They will feel more stable than conventional dentures and will stay firmly in place when you’re eating, talking, and laughing.
- Implant-Supported Dentures – Our best-fitting and most secure dentures anchor to a bar that’s attached to your implants. This setup transfers biting and chewing forces directly to your jawbone rather than to your gums, just like your natural teeth do.
