Why replacing missing teeth is important?

Teeth are important. You need teeth to chew, to help you speak, and, of course, to smile. Every tooth plays a crucial role in supporting the structure of your mouth. Leaving a gap after losing a tooth can have serious consequences. When the natural balance between teeth and bone becomes unstable, the jawbone starts to shrink, gums recede, and bone loss can worsen. If left unsupported, opposing teeth can move into the space left by the missing tooth, causing orthodontic and restorative dental problems.

Using the Two-Stage Dental Implant Method to Replace Missing Teeth

Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth. This solution feels like a natural tooth when chewing, brushing, or smiling. A dental implant replaces the root of the missing tooth and provides a base for the crown of your new artificial tooth.

At Meza Dental Care, we only use the safest and most effective method - the two-stage dental implant method. During the first stage, we place the dental implant directly into the bone and wait for it to heal. During this healing period, the body can form a muscular junction between the titanium dental implants and the bone, resulting in a long-lasting dental restoration. This natural process is called "Osseointegration."

During the second stage, after the Osseointegration has occurred, we place the prosthetic tooth. Placing the dental crown immediately after surgery risks preventing osseointegration of the dental implant and could result in a failed procedure. A significant advantage of a single-tooth implant is that no other teeth need to be altered.

A Successful Full Mouth Restoration for a Brighter Smile

Although a cosmetic dentist's skill is essential to achieve a successful mouth restoration, the materials used in the treatment are equally important. Not every clinic has the same level of commitment to using quality materials. At Meza Dental Clinic, we only use US-made implants with a warranty.

Although the initial cost of dental implant treatment is higher, it can be more cost-effective in the long run. A dental implant restoration will not require replacement as often as a dental bridge. Additionally, an implant preserves the jawbone and the gum tissue, and there is no need for your cosmetic dentist to grind down healthy teeth. The best option for your oral and general health is to replace each tooth with a dental implant, as implants most closely restore a natural tooth.
