The Need for a Dental Implant

Posted .

If you suffer from a lost tooth, but do not want to suffer from a bone loss that often goes with it, then you may be in need of a dental implant. Here in Bronx, New York, our team is proud to talk to you about dental implants and how they can work for you.

Dental implants are an amazing option for most smile restorations. When you suffer from a lost tooth, a dental implant can save your smile from bone loss and gaps in your smile. How it works, is the dental implant is surgically placed deep in your jaw to act as the root of your tooth into your jaw bone. The bone in your jaw will fuse to your dental implant making this a strong root in your jaw. Once the healing period of your implant is passed, a dental crown can be created to place over the top of the implant, so your smile looks completely restored.

Dental crowns are not the only thing that can be placed over a dental implant. There are many cases when dental bridges can be used, or even dentures can be held in place thanks to the support from the dental implant. Dental implants are really strong and durable giving your tooth and jaw the support it needs.
