Replace A Missing Tooth With Dental Implants in Greenville, TX
There are many reasons why a person might have lost a tooth. An accident or injury may have caused a tooth to fall out, or even illness can cause gum disease which can lead to tooth loss. If you have lost a tooth, or several teeth, due to accident, injury, or illness, a dental implant might be a good solution to repair your smile.
When a tooth is lost, the open gum can be a gathering place for bacteria to grow and flourish. This bacteria can lead to gum disease, which can impact the teeth surrounding the open area. A dental implant can “close the gap” between missing teeth and reduce or eliminate the bacteria from growing.
Dental implants in Greenville, TX, are made from medical-grade titanium. When properly cared for, a dental implant can last many, many years.
Advantages of dental implants
- Reduces the likelihood of gum disease and tooth decay by preventing bacteria from forming in the open gum
- A long-lasting solution for a missing tooth or multiple missing teeth
- Feels and looks like your natural teeth
- Restores your beautiful smile
A dental implant is surgically placed in the jawbone. Once this surgery has taken place at our Greenville, TX dental office, you will need to wait until the jawbone is fully healed before the dental crown can be placed over the implant. This can take between four and six months, depending on how quickly your body heals. Once our Greenville, TX dentist determines your jawbone is healed, a dental crown will be placed over the dental implant. The final result is a natural-looking tooth.
