Dr. Rodriguez DMD Can Replace Your Missing Teeth

Dr. Rodriguez DMD understands that when you have missing teeth, you lose some of the confidence in your beautiful smile. Teeth do more than just give you an excellent smile, they also help you with important functions like eating and the ability to properly enunciate and pronounce words. If you have lost teeth, you will not only have to suffer the embarrassment of not being able to smile without showing the gap in your teeth, but you will also have trouble chewing or biting into some of your favorite foods and may even have trouble speaking.

You No Longer Have to Wear Dentures

In the past, a dentist like Dr. Rodriguez DMD would use dentures as the primary means of replacing lost teeth. However, dentures tend to be inconvenient. This is because dentures fit on top of the gum, which means they have to be secured in place with the use of some kind of wiring or an adhesive. Another disadvantage of having dentures is that they require unique treatment and a special cleaning process. Fortunately, there is a better and more convenient solution – dental implants.

Dr. Rodriguez DMD Can Replace Your Teeth with Dental Implants

Dental implants are the most innovative way Dr. Rodriguez DMD can replace your missing teeth. They are designed to perfectly imitate the natural way teeth are meant to be attached. In place of your tooth’s normal root system, Dr. Rodriguez DMD will be placing the dental implant. This is essentially a tiny titanium screw that is secured directly to the jawbone. This screw acts like the root of the tooth and provides the safety, security, and permanence of a natural tooth. The screw is made of titanium so as to allow for osseointegration. Once the implant has been placed and the gums have had time to heal, a dental crown, which is made to look, act, and feel exactly like your natural teeth, is secured to an abutment that is attached to your implant at the surface of your gums. What you then have is a permanent solution to your tooth loss — one that looks and feels like the teeth around it, does not need to be removed, and only requires that you brush in order to maintain it.

Dental Implants Act Like Natural Teeth

The best part of dental implants is that you do not have to treat them any differently than you would your natural teeth. You brush and floss them the same way and you have the same requirements and restrictions when it comes to what you eat. In other words – there are none. As long as you are not chewing on something like ice, your new teeth will remain securely in place and do so for a long period of time. In fact, there is no expiration date with your implants. They have the potential to last for the rest of your life with proper care. To find out if this solution is right for you, call our office and schedule an examination.
