It\u2019s hard to chew steak when you\u2019re living with a missing tooth, and it\u2019s especially embarrassing trying to navigate different foods in front of your friends or family. You\u2019ve often thought to yourself &#8211; there must be a better way, and there is! Here are your best options for tooth replacement.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What are Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n<p>A dental implant is the best tooth replacement that dentistry has to offer and this is due to the fact that they replace not only your tooth, but also your root. A titanium post is placed into your bone during a simple surgical procedure, and because it\u2019s biocompatible, it naturally integrates with your bone over time. The implant replaces your root and creates a firm foundation for your new tooth.<\/p>\n<p>A high quality porcelain crown attaches to your implant to restore your tooth and all the function you had before. The implant crown is customized to closely mimic your missing tooth in both form and aesthetics so no one will ever know you were missing a tooth.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aaid-implant.org\/about-dental-implants\/what-are-the-benefits-of-dental-implants-over-other-treatments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dental implants<\/a> can also support dental prosthetics such as a denture, partial, or bridge. A few strategically placed implants allow a denture to \u201csnap\u201d into place, and they offer better support and a more stable fit that eliminates movement or slippage when you talk or eat.<\/p>\n<h2>Who is a Candidate for Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n<p>Dental implants in Lancaster do require a couple of factors in place to be successful.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The patient needs to have enough healthy bone structure to properly support the implant.<\/li>\n<li>The patient should be in good overall health.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Implants boast a 95% success rate and they offer great longevity as they can potentially last a lifetime with excellent home care and regular dental checkups.<\/p>\n<p>Your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lancasterfamilysmiles.com\/dental-implants.html\">implant dentist<\/a> in Lancaster can determine if this is the right treatment for your needs and discuss your options with you if it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n<h2>About Lancaster Family Smiles<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lancasterfamilysmiles.com\/sam-je-deme.html\">Dr. Mahima Gupta<\/a> holds dental degrees from both India and New York University.
