Missing teeth can be uncomfortable and make you feel embarrassed to smile or laugh. They can age you, cause you pain, and can even make it harder to talk. In the past, dentures and crowns have been used to fix this problem, but they each come with their own set of drawbacks. Now, more than ever, cosmetic dental implants are a permanent solution that can change your life.
Why Cosmetic Dental Implants?
Dentures are made to be removable. This means that denture wearers will always have to be careful when eating and drinking. Denture adhesives are unpleasant and often fail. While crowns are made to last for years, they don’t last forever and the work involved in placing them is extensive and damaging.
Dental implants are made to be permanent. They are implanted in the gums and fuse to the bone. Unlike dentures or crowns, dental implants are made to look and feel like your own, natural teeth. You can eat, smile, laugh, and talk like you did before you ever lost a tooth. Dental implants also allow the wearer to clean between all surrounding teeth for better mouth health. With good care, dental implants can last a life time.
What’s the Process Involved?
At your initial consultation, a plan of action will be discussed. You may need to have work done to build up the gums and prepare the area for the implant. Once your mouth is ready, a root implant will be surgically placed into the empty tooth socket. Your gums will need at least six weeks to heal before a connector post can be attached to the root implant. An impression will be made of your teeth and your new tooth will be made and attached to the connector post. Your new tooth will be made to look as much like your existing teeth as possible to guarantee that it blends in perfectly, with no discolouration.
Where Can I Get a Cosmetic Dental Implant?
Most dentists are able to perform this procedure, but a cosmetic dentist will have more experience with dental implants. When choosing a dentist, look for someone who is highly qualified, has excellent recommendations, and can show you “before” and “after” pictures of previous patients. If you’ve had bad experiences in the dentist’s chair, be sure to look into pain-free procedures or sedation. With the right cosmetic dentist, getting your smile back will be a life-changing event.
