Missing Teeth
Having missing teeth can play havoc with your confidence. Teeth are lost for many reasons. One reason is poor oral care, but that isn't the only reason. In some cases, teeth were lost at a time when you had no dental insurance and extraction was the most affordable option. Other teeth are lost to an accident. In some medical treatments, teeth must be extracted. No matter what the reason was, losing a tooth can make you self-conscious and reluctant to smile.
Who Can Benefit From a Dental Implant
Not everyone is a good candidate for a dental implant, but a great many people are. A dental implant is a screw made from titanium that is inserted into your jaw. It helps to make the bone stronger, and eventually, it will be very like the root of a natural tooth. If you have some bone loss in your jaw, a bone graft can fix the problem. If the damage is too severe, you aren't a good candidate. If you have leukemia or diabetes or any illness that makes healing a problem, you aren't a good candidate. But if you and your gums are healthy, you are a good candidate for dental implants in Greensboro, NC.
Getting A Dental Implant
Once the implant has healed, it is time to be measured for your new tooth or teeth. An impression is taken of your teeth and in just a few weeks your missing tooth will be a thing of the past. The new tooth will look, feel and chew like a natural tooth, and you will want to smile just to show it off. You can expect your implant to last forever as long as you treat it as well as you would a natural tooth.
