Whenever you lose a tooth, the force of your bite shifts to the teeth next to the empty space. As your bite changes, it may cause difficulty in chewing, damage to your jaw, cause other teeth to shift and extrude out of socket, and also makes it harder to clean teeth, resulting in tooth decay and periodontal diseases. T
hat is why it is critical to receive a dental implant from your Mahwah NJ oral surgeon to ensure your teeth and mouth maintain their proper function, form, health, and beauty.
An artificial tooth secured by dental implants is an excellent option for replacing a missing tooth. These are titanium cylinders that are surgically placed in your jaw to serve as an artificial tooth root, which helps to fend off the bone loss that occurs when a tooth is missing. This method allows us to avoid placing a dental bridge, which can weaken the adjacent natural teeth. Since dental implants are practically indistinguishable from your natural teeth, and since they do not alter the structure and integrity of the adjacent teeth, an implant it the next best thing to your natural tooth. The procedure may require several months to complete as it can take about three to four months for the dental implants to fuse to your bone tissue. Afterward, however, you’ll need to visit our Mahwah NJ oral surgeon up to four times a year for a cleaning to ensure proper healing and hygiene of the dental implant. You can also use dental implants to support either a lower denture or bridge to keep the pressure off the bone the nerves.
Securing restorations with dental implants can make a world of difference, allowing you to eat, talk, laugh, and smile with confidence. While receiving dental implants from our Mahwah NJ oral surgeon, you will be provided with exemplary patient care, outstanding aesthetic results, compassion, and integrity when filling in the gaps in your smile.
