Dental Implants Can Complete Your Amazing Smile

As children, losing teeth was just a part of growing up. But while it’s natural for us to lose our baby teeth, losing our adult teeth is a different story. Thankfully, at Acton Dental Associates, Acton, Massachusetts, we can use teeth implants to fully restore your smile.

Our teeth are instrumental not just in how we look but also in our overall health. Not only are they the tools we use to help process food, but they also protect our overall health, as missing teeth increase the possibility of infections that can spread through the body. They can also lead to bone loss since the lack of stimulation produced by behaviors such as chewing can cause shrinkage within your jawbone. This bone loss can lead to difficulty eating and speaking, causing your face to age prematurely.

And, of course, there is the matter of how your smile looks with missing teeth, which can dramatically impact your social life and self-image. This is why it’s so important to replace missing teeth as soon as possible. 

Choosing the Right Dentist for Implants

Dental implants, like many invasive dental procedures, require a dentist with experience and skill for the best results. The look and function of your new implant largely depend on how well the implant is positioned and placed within your jawbone. At Acton Dental Associates, we take advantage of the most current technologies, like computer-assisted surgical guidance, to ensure each implant is strategically placed in the right spot with precision.

The placement and positioning of each implant are crucial to the integration process between the implant and jawbone. The implant post is made of a biocompatible titanium material that integrates with your jawbone during a process called osseointegration. The fusion of the implant with your jawbone ensures the most stable bond, which is even stronger than the bond between your natural teeth and the tooth root. This means that teeth implants can withstand more pressure than natural teeth.

Once the implant post completes the integration process within your jawbone, your dentist can complete the final step, which involves securing your new dental crown onto the top of the implant. The tooth would be custom-made to match the look and feel of your natural teeth. Following the procedure, you’ll have a dental implant that can last a lifetime with the proper care and maintenance.

Another great benefit is that if you get a porcelain crown, it will be highly stain-resistant. Many patients elect to undergo our professional teeth whitening treatment beforehand so their natural teeth match their new implant.
