Dental Implants: A Long-Lasting Solution for Missing Teeth
Dental implants offer a reliable, long-term solution for patients who want to replace missing teeth. If you’re hesitant about implants, here’s why you shouldn’t wait.
At Liberty Oral and Facial Surgery in Post Falls, Idaho, and Spokane Valley, Washington, Dr. Bryan McLelland helps patients experience the many benefits of dental implants soon after tooth loss or extraction.
What is Implant Dentistry?
Implant dentistry focuses on replacing missing teeth with dental implants. Specifically, dental implants are small titanium posts that act as artificial tooth roots. Dr. McLelland places the implants directly into your jawbone, where they stimulate bone growth. As a result, the implants bond securely and provide a strong foundation for your new teeth.
Depending on your needs, we restore implants with crowns, bridges, or full dentures. During your initial evaluation, Dr. McLelland will assess your smile and explain whether you are a good candidate for implant dentistry.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait for Dental Implants
Dental implants preserve your natural jawbone. For example, dentures and other restorations may allow bone loss over time. Implants stimulate bone growth, keeping your jaw strong and healthy.
Dental implants prevent teeth from shifting. When teeth are missing, surrounding teeth can drift out of place, creating gaps and making oral hygiene more difficult. By restoring missing teeth with implants, you maintain proper alignment.
Dental implants improve speaking and eating. The fewer teeth you have, the harder it can be to speak clearly or enjoy your favorite foods. Implants restore full function, so you can speak and eat with confidence.
Dental implants boost self-esteem. Missing teeth can affect your confidence and willingness to socialize. With high-quality implants, you can restore your smile and feel your best.
