Complete Implant Dentistry
Dental implants involve the surgical placement of a titanium post into the jawbone. This biocompatible implant fuses to the bone over time and acts as an artificial tooth root. The dental implant is then topped with a dental restoration, which can be a crown, bridge or denture depending on your unique needs and preferences. With prosthetic teeth that are securely anchored to your jawbone, patients gain invaluable benefits. Not only do dental implants look and feel like natural teeth, but there is also no dietary restrictions or messy adhesive creams associated with removable dentures. In addition, dental implants provide adequate stimulation to the jawbone, which prevents the bone from atrophying. Jawbone loss and premature facial aging are a notable concern for patients who choose not to replace missing teeth or opt for traditional dentures.
If you have one or more missing teeth, we encourage you to restore your smile. Missing teeth can threaten your smile aesthetics as well as compromise your dental health. Even just one missing tooth can cause adjacent teeth to shift out of position, which can lead to bite misalignment and create areas that are difficult to clean. At Allen Dentistry, we want to help patients avoid the consequences of missing teeth. We realize that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to dental care. Therefore, Dr. Nylander will take the time with you to develop a customized treatment plan that you can feel confident in.
