Dental implants offer a natural and cosmetically appealing appearance that makes them an ideal choice to replace a single tooth, several teeth, or full-mouth restoration. When people lost teeth in the past, crowns and bridges were their only option for concealing the open space. However, this requires damaging the surrounding teeth in order to support the new bridge. Many patients today prefer a natural-looking permanent tooth replacement instead.

Are You a Good Candidate for a Dental Implant?

Most people with one or more missing teeth are able to receive a dental implant as long as they have adequate bone mass. At Gentle Breeze Dental in Port St. Lucie, we complete a thorough examination prior to placing your dental implant to ensure that you are healthy and that your gums and jaws can tolerate the procedure. You should not have a dental implant if you have uncontrolled diabetes, gum disease, or cancer. People who smoke or drink alcohol to excess are also ineligible. We ask that you let us know your complete medical history, including all prescription and non-prescription medication that you take. This enables us to plan your surgery accordingly.

Dental Implant Options

Dental Implants Port St. Lucie look more like natural teeth when compared to dentures and bridges. They also function like natural teeth. Once in place, your permanent replacement tooth prevents shifting of your remaining teeth. Each dental implant has a titanium-based root that your dentist places in your mouth first. You receive the custom-made replacement tooth as well as a cap to go on top of it.

Some patients choose to get implants to support full or partial dentures. This has a dramatic effect on the stability and retention of the dentures. When patients require a full-mouth restoration, dental implants offer many benefits over removable dentures. They are permanent, stable, and require far less maintenance than dentures do. Dental implants also help to preserve the maxillofacial bones that surround the remaining teeth.

Why Dental Implants are a Great Choice for Tooth Replacement?

We take care to ensure that your dental implants match the color shade of your remaining teeth as well as the size and shape. Because of this, no one can tell that your replacement teeth aren’t natural unless you choose to tell them. The aesthetics alone are a big enough reason for people to opt for dental implants over other methods of tooth replacement. There are important medical reasons as well. Without a dental implant in place, bone structure eventually recedes. Having an implant in the empty space halts this process and helps the tissue remain stable.

Because dental implants are just like your other teeth, you don’t have to buy special toothpaste or cleansing tablets to care for them. As long as you practice good oral hygiene, you may eventually forget that you have a dental implant at all. If you would like to explore the possibility of permanent tooth replacement, please contact Gentle Breeze Dental in Port St. Lucie to request a consultation.
