If you have lost a tooth, or possibly several, that doesn’t mean you need to hide your smile away from the world. Instead, talk to our team about a solution with dental implants. Your Shrewsbury, MA, dentist would like to help you start your journey now to a full smile with implant dentistry!
Taking on Your Missing Teeth
Do you have minor tooth loss, with only an individual missing tooth or possibly just a few gone from your smile? What if you have a more severe case, losing most or all of your teeth? Perhaps you even have lost portions of your outer or inner oral structures?
With these situations, we can help with implant dentistry and custom dental prosthetics. To begin, we will examine your smile to understand the cause and severity of your missing teeth. We then take detailed images and measurements with digital x-rays and intraoral cameras, which are crucial for planning treatment with precision and ensuring long-lasting dental implant placement. Every smile is unique, and we always take a custom approach.
Placing Dental Implants
A dental implant is a small post made from biocompatible titanium, and inserted surgically into the jaw, where it bonds with the jaw like natural roots. This means the jaw doesn’t erode during total tooth loss, so you maintain your youthful facial features and avoid further tooth loss. They can last for decades, or even a lifetime! Our team will plan placement in detail and choose the best angle, position, and depth to insert your new roots. Once we complete this portion, we will move forward with the part of your tooth people see when you smile!
Securing Your Restoration or Prosthetic
We not only want you to smile with confidence, we also want to ensure you can eat your favorite foods again! For an individual dental implant, we could complete it by attaching an abutment that extends above the gum line, and then connecting a custom dental crown for a lifelike appearance and durable chewing surface.
What about more severe cases? We could use several posts to support a partial denture, or even a full set of new teeth. With systems like All-On-Four, we could attach this in only one visit too! With our maxillofacial prosthetics, we can also address missing teeth and missing portions of your oral structures, so you have a complete smile once again. If you have any questions about how we address missing teeth and restore your jaw, then contact our team today to learn more.
