Dental implants are the only form of prostheses available that helps to replace both a missing tooth and the healthy tooth root that once held it in place. While dental bridges can also offer some stability, even they are unable to complete a smile as comprehensively as a dental implant can.
Mimic tooth roots are helpful in that they can help to hold a replacement tooth firmly in place, but also because they serve to supply nutrients to the jaw as one chews. Only implants are able to do this.
To determine if you are a good candidate for a dental implant, your dentist will first need to examine your smile to ensure it is healthy enough to support an implant. In some cases a deep or periodontal cleaning might be necessary to restore the smile, before an implant can be placed within the smile.
Prosthetic treatment can help to complete the smile functionally and beautifully. You can schedule prosthetic care today, by calling Gentle Smiles in Dallas, TX, at 972-329-7645 (972-329-SMILE).
