Dental implants are the gold standard for restoring missing adult teeth. The metal implant post is a permanent solution that mimics the function of your tooth’s root. Why is that important? Because the roots of your teeth play a vital role in the health and strength of your jawbone. Tooth roots, or implant posts, work to keep your jawbone healthy so that your teeth and implants will have a stable foundation and you can continue to enjoy your new smile for years to come.
Who Can Recieve Dental Implants?
Anyone who has lost teeth is a candidate for dental implants, and as long as your teeth and gums are healthy you will be able to receive implants without problems. However, cavities, gum disease, or other conditions will need to be treated first, and after you receive dental implants, you will need to care for them just like your original teeth – with regular brushing and flossing as well as routine dental visits to receive preventive care.
At Riverside Dental, Dr. Shutong Hartsell works thoroughly to restore the beauty and function of your teeth. She will use her artistic ability and technical skill to create your customized implant crowns, bridges, or dentures.
