Replace missing teeth in Danville OH
Danville Dentist

Do you have one or several teeth that need to be replaced? At Danville Family Dentistry, we understand that you may feel self-conscious about that empty space where a tooth used to be. It also may be preventing you from chewing properly. And in addition, the other teeth on that jaw could shift, leading to teeth that aren’t aligned properly, throwing off your bite, causing you discomfort, and possibly even making it more difficult to floss properly between them (a key aspect to preventing both tooth decay and gum disease). Old-fashioned restorations include bridges and partial dentures. They’re fine, but the real star of the show is the dental implant. Our Danville dentist can give you an effective and safe replacement that looks and feels like a natural tooth.

Bridges are secured to the tooth on either side by having those teeth drilled down and capped. But that means you lose precious natural tooth material in the process. A dental implant doesn’t require that. Partial dentures are held in with adhesive that can be messy to deal with and dentures may still slide somewhat, making your less than fully confident when you chew or speak. A dental implant uses no adhesive and is 100% securely anchored. You’ll be able to eat, speak, and laugh without any concern. Dental implants can even be used as a foundation to secure a full set of lower dentures. And our Danville dentist is highly skilled and experienced in performing the procedure.

The process of putting in a dental implant requires two steps. First, a cylindrical post, made out of titanium, will be placed in your jaw. This acts to replace the root, something that dentures and bridges don’t do. Over the course of several months, your jaw bone will then grow around the post and fuse with it. You’re left with a durable and strong bond. The second step is even simpler. Our Danville dentist places a tooth-colored crown on top of the implant and cements it into place. That’s all there is to it. To see if you’re a good candidate for a dental implant, call us today and schedule an exam and consultation.
