If you’re dealing with missing teeth, you’re a member of a growing club of unhappy members. Thanks to scientific advancements and improvements in medicine, humans are living longer than ever. The problem is that our teeth didn’t receive the memo, and barring the most excellent care, aren’t built to last 100 years or more. At Travis A Bell DDS PLLC, Dr. Travis A. Bell, Dr. Janna C. Matko, and Dr. Margaret Scott have the perfect solution—dental implants.Â
Unlike dentures or bridges, which may need to be replaced, tooth implants are a permanent solution. They are designed to last for 20 years. Or even a lifetime with good care. This is very different from other options that might need to be repaired or replaced.
The best part about dental implant treatment is how natural it all looks. The implant itself is hidden. The part you see is a custom-made crown. The team works hard to craft this crown. It’s made to match the color of your other teeth. It matches the shape, too. It’s not just about filling a space. It’s about making it look like a tooth was never missing at all.
Forget about the worry that your teeth might slip when you talk—or avoiding your favorite foods. Tooth implants are anchored right into your jawbone. This means they’re incredibly stable. They don’t move. Patients love this; they often talk about how much more comfortable they feel in social situations. Just being able to eat whatever you want, without a second thought.
Here’s something you might not know. When you lose a tooth, the jawbone in that spot starts to shrink. This can change your face shape over time. Dental implant treatment stops this. The implant post acts like a natural tooth root. It stimulates the bone. This keeps your jaw strong.
You’ll be happy to know that tooth implants have a success rate of over 95%. That’s amazing. This makes them one of the most reliable procedures in all of dentistry. The technology has been around for a long time and is very well-regarded. You can feel good about this choice. It’s a predictable and proven fix.
Because implants are so much like your natural teeth, they are just as easy to care for. You don’t need any special cups or cleaning tablets. It’s a very low-maintenance solution. This is ideal for anyone who wants to return to a normal routine. You just treat it like your other teeth.
At Travis A Bell DDS PLLC, you receive a customized plan tailored just for you. Our team uses digital imaging. They map out your surgery for a perfect fit. Patients generally feel very positive about this process. Schedule your consultation by calling (336) 297-6956 today.
