If you have missing teeth, it can seriously affect your health.. Now, there is a better solution than replacing them with bridges or dentures. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Brossoit to discuss the best implants in Spokane, WA.
An implant is a titanium screw placed into the jawbone and, over time, the bone grows around the implant. This makes a very stable anchor, used as the base of a crown, which results in a tooth that looks and functions naturally. Filling that empty space will make you look better, make it easier to talk and eat, feel more comfortable, and feel better about yourself.
In the past, if you had bone loss, an implant was not an option. Today, if your jaw bone has been compromised, and you have pockets between some of your teeth, your dentist can use bone paste to restore the bone and make it strong enough to support the implant. Once the implant process is finished, it can last a lifetime. Just take care of the implant the same way you take care of your natural teeth.
The first step involves placing the implant directly into the jaw. It takes between four and six months for the bone to grow around the titanium which results in a strong base for a crown. Your dentist will take an impression of all your teeth, so the new crown will look like it belongs in your mouth.
The next step is to place an abutment, which is a connection between the implant and your new crown, once the process is complete, you won’t be able to distinguish between your natural teeth and the new crown.
If you have lost one or more teeth, take the time to call and make an appointment for a consultation with Dr Brossoit.. It’s important to do so before other problems are encountered. Dental implants can make a real difference in your life, so call Dr. Brossoit today.
