How a Dental Implant Can Help You

Are you missing one or more teeth? If so, you know that having a missing tooth can significantly impact your quality of life. It can make it difficult for you to speak, eat, and even smile. That is where a dental implant can help you. At South Lakewood Dental, we provide dental implants to patients in Lakewood, Colorado. Learn more about how we can help you improve your oral health with a dental implant, and reach out to us to schedule an appointment. 

Why Might You Be Missing One or More Teeth?

There are several reasons why someone might be missing a tooth. Some of the most common reasons why you might be missing one or more teeth include the following:

• You may have had a tooth knocked out in a traumatic accident, such as a motor vehicle collision.
• You might have had one or more teeth removed due to extensive oral decay.
• You might have even been born missing one or more teeth.

Regardless of why you might be missing a tooth, we would be happy to provide you with a comprehensive evaluation to see if you are a candidate for a dental implant. 

What Are the Top Benefits of a Dental Implant?

Even though multiple options exist for replacing one or more teeth, a dental implant could be your best choice. Some of the reasons why you should consider going with a dental implant include the following:

• A dental implant could be a permanent replacement option for a missing tooth. As long as you take care of it, a dental implant should last for decades.
• We can customize your dental implant to blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth. We can make sure your dental implant looks like a natural tooth.
• A dental implant allows you to eat a regular diet.
• You do not have to do anything special to take care of a dental implant. You simply need to brush and floss your dental implant just like the rest of your teeth.

What Are the Types of Dental Implants?

Our clinic offers two types of dental implants. The first is a traditional dental implant, consisting of a titanium screw placed in the jaw and a crown fitted on top of the titanium screw itself. After placing the screw, we will wait several weeks for the mouth to heal before placing the implant.

The other option is a zirconium implant, a non-metal implant. If you have a metal sensitivity, we can discuss the zirconium option with you.
