3 Ways A Dental Implant Can Help You After Tooth Loss
There are several problems that can be attributed to tooth loss. The easiest to point out is the problem of how it can affect your smile. Many people who have a gap in their teeth will feel self-conscious. There are also issues that affect your oral health, and your regular jaw function. Biting and chewing habits may have to be adjusted, and the unnatural jaw movements that result from this adjustment can cause discomfort. Your teeth next to that gap have less support, and face a greater likelihood of being lost as well. Using a dental implant to hold a replacement tooth can mean improving your smile; you can have a ceramic dental crown as a prosthetic, which has a life-like appearance. The implant will also help with the oral health troubles tied to tooth loss. (more…)
What Will A Dental Implant Do For Your Oral Health?
How can a dental implant help your smile look great again after tooth loss? This prosthetic support can hold a natural-looking tooth that fits in with neighboring teeth. Many patients can have a life-like ceramic dental crown placed on their implant by their dentist. This does more than just offset the negative effects of tooth loss on your appearance. Your implant means you enjoy a permanent prosthetic, one that can contribute to biting and chewing tasks.

Quiz: Different Ways A Dental Crown Can Help Your Smile
Restorative dental care is meant to restore a vulnerable tooth to good condition. If your dentist observes a smaller cavity during a checkup, they can restore the tooth by removing it, and using a dental filling to address that loss of dental material. Unfortunately, some cavities will not be caught in time for your dentist to use a filling. Other issues, like physical harm, can also demand more care than a filling offers. For superior support, you can have a tooth protected by a dental crown. Thanks to CEREC Same-Day Crowns technology, it is possible for your dentist to fit a permanent ceramic crown on your tooth in a single visit. (more…)
Keeping Your Dental Crown In Good Shape

If something happens to adversely affect your crown, you should seek a replacement as soon as possible. A tooth fitted with a restoration needs permanent protection – having it exposed can be a concern for your oral health. If you need restorative dental work to correct an issue with a crown, or with a dental filling, make sure to reach out to your dentist. They can fit you with a replacement, so that you can enjoy protection, and full dental function. (more…)
Failing To Address Tooth Loss Can Lead To TMJ Issues
The state of your oral health can be affected by the loss of just a single tooth. From a functional standpoint, that new gap in your smile can demand you change how you bite and chew food. The teeth neighboring an absence can take more wear and tear, and are more likely to be lost. Over time, this complication can leave you experiencing TMJ problems, which can create discomfort in your face, neck, and head. To avoid these problems, you should talk to your dentist about your prosthetic dental options. A restoration can make your smile look better, while also bringing back your regular jaw function. Using a dental implant can ensure you enjoy a comfortable, stable prosthetic. (more…)
