Looking for an Alternative to Conventional Dentures for Replacing Lost Teeth? Consider Dental Implants!

Tooth loss isn’t always preventable, as you may lose natural teeth due to accidental injury. By replacing lost teeth quickly, you can preserve your oral health. For a long-term tooth loss solution, you can’t do better than implants. Implants offer an alternative to traditional dentures for replacing lost teeth with improved functionality and aesthetics. A visit to StarBrite Dental in Dublin, California, can determine if implants are a good fit for you.

About Implants

Implants are artificial teeth composed of a titanium screw that replaces your lost tooth root, an abutment (connector), and replacement crown. The implant screw is placed inside your jawbone through dental surgery. It will integrate with your bone system to eventually become a permanent foundation for your new tooth/teeth. This process can take three or more months to complete. Once the implant screw is firmly in place, we will attach an abutment to support your restoration and, lastly, your replacement tooth/teeth to complete your smile. 

Individual missing teeth are replaced with dental crowns, multiple consecutive missing teeth with an implant bridge, and all your teeth with implant-supported dentures using all-on-4 implant treatment.

Reasons to Consider Implant Treatment 

Stability is perhaps one of the greatest reasons for replacing lost teeth with implants. Because implants replace your tooth and its roots, your replacement teeth will have the same stability and security as natural teeth. You’ll be able to eat, laugh, smile, and speak normally again. 

Implants are also appealing due to their:

• Close resemblance to natural teeth 
• Oral health benefits (Implants improve oral hygiene, keep your teeth aligned to preserve your bite, and stimulate bone growth to keep your jawbone from deteriorating.)
• Easy maintenance and care (implants only require daily brushing, flossing, and routine dental cleanings, just like natural teeth)
• Longevity (implants can provide you with a lifetime of quality use)
