What Can I Do if I Have Missing Teeth?
Current literature says that gum disease and missing teeth can lead to Alzheimer’s disease, memory loss, and heart problems. Not to mention, it can affect your quality of life; making it hard to chew the food you enjoy, or uncomfortable to smile in social settings or pictures. We can help you find the right treatment for you—be it dental implants, or a bridge, or full or partial dentures. Dental implants are machine milled titanium “screws” that are placed into the space where a tooth has been removed. This artificial root will then be used, after healing, to place a post into and a crown on top. Dental implants can support single or multiple crowns. They can hold full dentures down with special types of snaps or attachments. They can also hold a full set of new teeth firmly in place with tiny screws. These new teeth look and function like beautiful natural teeth. The All-on-4 dental implant procedure (also referred to as full mouth implants or teeth in a day) is a registered technique for Nobel BioCare that allows teeth to be extracted, implants placed, and new teeth to be screwed in the same day.
