Are you concerned about the health of your teeth? Many patients find that they need to have multiple teeth removed for one reason or another. Teeth might become damaged in an accident, for example, or an underlying gum issue might cause pain in teeth.
Oftentimes, restorative dentistry can be used to bring damaged teeth back to a state of health. Sometimes, however, the best approach for quality of life is to remove two, three, or four teeth.
If you have had multiple teeth removed, you might face some challenges in eating and adjusting to your changed dental regimen. Dental implants can help you to enjoy realistic-looking tooth replacements.
The first step in the dental implant process is to introduce the actual dental implant to your body. This implant will serve as the anchor or base on which your replacement teeth will be situated.
Dental implants are introduced directly into the jaw, and the jawbone is allowed to heal around them. All implants used at Stony Brook Family Dentistry are made of specialized materials that are designed to avoid compromising the body in any way.
After a period of healing, it becomes possible to install replacement teeth. Someone is a good candidate for this kind of tooth replacement if they are missing two or more consecutive teeth. It is also possible to install more than one dental implant.
Getting a single dental implant is a faster, more efficient process than replacing multiple teeth individually, so the odds of complications are reduced.
While waiting for the natural healing process to take place, it’s important to follow your dentist’s instructions on the care of your teeth and gums.
In partnership with a physician, some patients decide to increase their intake of calcium or calcium phosphate — the building blocks of bones and teeth — to accelerate the process.
If you have two or three damaged teeth but your other teeth are healthy, dental implants may be the perfect solution for you. Dental implants take some time to implant and heal, but the overall results are worth the wait.
Dental implants will support your long-lasting dental health for years to come, so it’s a good idea to explore the option. Reach out to Stony Brook Family Dentistry of Suffolk County, Long Island to discover more about it today.
