Every year, thousands of Americans lose a tooth due to decay, mouth injuries, or facial trauma. Losing a tooth – or even a few teeth – can make it difficult to eat and speak, and it can have a negative influence on self-image. We all dream of having a perfect smile, and a missing tooth can ruin that dream and make it seem more like a fantasy. Sommers Family Dentistry, DDS is passionate about restoring smiles to prominence and offers a treatment to replace your missing tooth with a natural-looking, permanent dental implant.
Get the Smile You Deserve
Our incredible, caring team of doctors and dental masters love nothing more than helping patients achieve the smiles they want, and our goal is to provide the care and treatment you need. When you have a missing tooth, there are serious problems that can occur if left untreated. Your jawbone needs stimulation throughout the day, and it receives stimulation via contacts from your teeth (chewing, pressing against each other, etc.). When a tooth is lost, that area along the jaw can no longer receive the necessary stimulation. Without it, the bone will diminish in both height and width, losing mass. Dental implants can correct this issue.
Dental Implant Procedure to Restore Your Smile
With your initial appointment, our team will make impressions of the area needing the implant and begin preparing for the next steps. We will have you return for a second appointment, so we can surgically place a biocompatible titanium post in the jaw. You will then undergo a healing period, as the jaw naturally accepts the post and the gums begin to heal. After everything has healed properly, we will have you come back to our office, so we can cement and bond the durable, strong, permanent replacement tooth to the post. When bonding is finished, you can walk out of our office with a new, natural-looking tooth and a wonderful smile that you can be proud to show off.
