The Scoop on Dental Implants

Are you thinking about dental implants but are unsure if they will work for you? If so, you have come to the right place! Luckily, our team here at Family Dentistry in Newburgh, Indiana, is excited to give you the scoop on dental implants, so you can feel confident about your smile restoration choice.

Did you know, dental implants are a great option for smile restorations? Well, it’s true! When you suffer from a lost tooth, a dental implant can save your smile from bone loss in your jaw. In a nutshell, the implant is surgically placed deep in your gums 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 anchor of support in your jaw. Once the healing time of your implant is complete, a dental crown can be created to place over the top of the dental implant, so your smile looks as good as new.

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

When it comes to having a dental implant, you can feel secure about your smile restoration choice.
