What You Should Know About Tooth Loss
It would be hard to miss the effect of tooth loss on how your smile looks, especially if the loss in question is in a particularly visible area. The embarrassment a person can suffer from having a missing tooth is often sufficient to drive them to seek a replacement. That being said, you should be aware of the oral health issues associated with tooth loss, especially since some issues are fixed exclusively with a dental implant. Your adjacent teeth are more likely to be lost, and you could have jaw problems that start to form. There is also the prospect of deterioration in your jawbone – seeking a dental prosthetic will only help with this issue if the prosthetic has support from a dental implant. (more…)

Counting On Dental Implants To Support Dentures
A set of complete dentures can be your means of addressing the cosmetic and functional problems associated with total tooth loss. Your dentist can construct a set of dentures for your upper or lower jaw, and ensure that it has a precise fit. If you need a set of dentures, you can discuss the benefits of having dental implants to hold them in place. These implants act like artificial tooth roots, and hold your dentures in place with a support that is comparable to the support your natural teeth enjoyed. Once the implants have been placed, and have healed properly, your dentist can secure your implant dentures. (more…)
Protect An Injured Tooth With A Dental Crown
There are many instances where your dentist will turn to a dental crown to provide the appropriate restoration for a tooth with a cavity. Crowns may be important to cavity treatment, their function goes beyond matters concerning tooth decay. Because they are able to so effectively protect vulnerable teeth, they can also be used to treat a tooth that has suffered a physical injury. A crown completely fits over a tooth, covering it down to the gum line for total protection. This will shield it from harm, but it also serves to operate on the damaged tooth’s behalf. With the aid of CEREC Same-Day Crowns technology, your custom-sized dental crown can be ready in a single dental appointment. (more…)
Placing A Dental Crown On A Dental Implant
Sure, a dental crown can offer dependable support for an existing tooth. How can it help when your tooth is missing? You can actually have a dental crown serve as a prosthetic by fastening it to a dental implant. The implant, which serves as a sort of replacement tooth root, is placed first. It will be set in the area where your lost tooth root once was, and is actually inserted into your jaw. After the healing process, where the bone will fuse to the implant, your dentist can have a custom-sized dental crown made and placed. The prosthetic will have enough support to take up actions performed by regular teeth. (more…)

On-site technology allows your dentist to record the necessary measurements and produce a durable, life-like ceramic crown that is ready to be placed on your tooth. (more…)
Taking Care Of Tooth Loss – And Addressing What Caused It
Tooth loss is most commonly the consequence of advanced gum disease. Other issues can cause this to happen – you might have a dental injury, or lose a tooth to a serious cavity – but a periodontal infection is the most likely suspect. You can have a dental implant placed to hold a replacement tooth, and enjoy a complete smile again. The implant offers stability, and does not require you to modify other teeth to create that support for your prosthetic. It can also have important benefits for your jaw health. What you should understand is that in addition to replacing a lost tooth, you should address the issue that caused it to be lost in the first place. (more…)
Why Tooth Loss Is A Threat To Your Oral Health
You should aspire to keep your oral health in top form. Obviously, good oral health means watching out for cavities (and seeking the appropriate restorative dental work when you do have them). It also means having a complete set of strong, healthy teeth. Tooth loss can have an immediate, unpleasant impact on how you feel about your appearance, but it is a health risk, too. You are more likely to lose more teeth when a tooth is gone. You can also deal with jaw problems – deterioration of the bone can occur when a tooth is lost, and you are more likely to suffer TMJ problems. A dental implant can address the variety of problems that can arise after tooth loss. An implant-supported tooth is good news for your smile, and your oral health. (more…)
