Teeth Implants, The Most Natural Solution to Replacing Lost Teeth

There’s no doubt that implants offer greater functionality than other tooth replacement options, but what about appearance? Will implants give you a natural-looking smile? Absolutely! Most people choose implants to replace lost teeth due to their aesthetic appeal. With implants, you can smile, laugh, and eat comfortably, knowing you have attractive and secure replacement teeth. At My Dental and Implants, you work with Dr. Nima Afzalian, a highly skilled teeth implant dentist in Glendale, Arizona, for your implant treatment.

Problems Tooth Loss Can Cause

Tooth loss can cause all kinds of problems as every tooth has its place and function in your mouth. Losing front teeth will leave a large gap in your smile, causing you to feel self-conscious about your appearance. Losing molars can alter your bite and make it difficult to chew. Tooth loss can impair speech, causing you to slur words or speak with a lisp. All these problems and more can be resolved through dental implant treatment.

Dental Implants Process

The dental implant process follows a three-step system:

• First, a titanium post (implant) will be inserted into your jaw through oral surgery to act as your new tooth root. This post will fuse with your jawbone, a process called osseointegration, over the next 3-6 months
• Once the implant has healed, an abutment will be attached to hold your replacement tooth
• A dental crown is added to the abutment as your replacement tooth

Single implants make use of dental crowns for replacement teeth. If you’re replacing multiple teeth in a row, Dr. Afzalian will create a natural-looking bridge as your new prosthetics. To replace an entire arch or all of your teeth, we offer all-on-4 or all-on-6 implant-supported denture treatment. Your prosthetics will be custom-designed to look, function and feel like natural teeth.

Implants: A Natural Solution to Replacing Lost Teeth

Implants mimic your tooth structure, composition and function closer than any other restorative treatment. The titanium post (implant) anchors your prosthetics in place, just like a tooth root. Porcelain crowns closely resemble natural teeth to give your smile a realistic appearance. With implants, you also benefit from:

• A permanent solution to replacing lost teeth as implants can last a lifetime
• The strength and durability of quality prosthetics (a dental crown, bridge or dentures) that can provide you with years of quality use
• Comfortable, secure replacement teeth that never slip or come loose when you talk, laugh or chew your food as they’re held firmly in place by your new tooth root
• Prosthetics that stimulate jawbone growth, just like natural teeth, keep your jaw and face from sagging prematurely
• Better oral health as implants keep natural teeth in alignment to prevent bite issues and undue wear and tear on your teeth. They also make your teeth easier to clean to avoid problems with decay and gum disease
