Dental Implants
Colorado Springs
A missing tooth, can cause several problems. Not only can a missing tooth affect the way you speak and eat, it can also change the way you smile, and make you feel self-conscious about your appearance. The teeth around the gap can begin to drift, creating crooked teeth, periodontitis (gum disease) and additional tooth decay can cause you to lose even more teeth, and bone loss can occur as a result of missing tooth roots.
If you are suffering from a missing tooth, a dental implant can correct and prevent many of your dental problems. New dental implants provide both the look and function of a natural tooth.
Dental implants are made up of two parts. The dental implant anchor acts as an artificial tooth root within the jawbone, preventing bone loss. The abutment is basically a dental crown that is placed over the anchor, providing a perfect replacement for your tooth, as well as preventing other teeth from drifting.
In the past, people chose dental bridges or partial dentures to correct their missing teeth. These restorations may provide a cosmetic correction, but they do nothing to prevent bone loss, and they can often break or feel unsecured in your mouth while speaking and eating.
Dental implants perfectly simulate your natural teeth, so much so, that many patients forget that they ever lost a tooth in the first place. Dental implants allow you to eat, brush, floss, speak, and smile with renewed confidence.
