Fantastic restoration options
Dental implants will help restore function, to keep other teeth from shifting, and to help us with healthy eating habits. Dental implants can help save the bone, not everyone is a good candidate for a bridge or a partial just depending where the missing tooth is.
So a dental bridge is a great option. If you have virgin teeth though, some people just don’t want us to prep their natural tooth, so an implant can be placed and we don’t have to touch their unrestored tooth.
So the long-term maintenance of a dental implant is the same as the maintenance of your natural teeth. We’re gonna make sure, we take x-rays to make sure that implant is solid, we’ll make sure that it’s being cleaned around properly, and we can help you with tools to help provide that necessary instruction.
