They offer permanent and natural-looking tooth replacement to give you a brand new, confident smile. Maybe you’ve lost or broken multiple teeth due to tooth decay, tooth extraction, injury, or normal wear and tear from aging. Perhaps you were born with dental conditions that need to be addressed. No matter the cause, full mouth dental implants can help restore how you look and feel. What Are Dental Implants? Dental implants are the most reliable solution available for tooth replacement. Serving as an artificial tooth root, dental implants are made of titanium and offer unparalleled stability and durability. And they have a higher success rate than other ways to replace missing teeth. Dental implants can be placed for a single tooth, multiple teeth, or a full set of neighboring teeth. And they even can be used for some patients with partial bone loss. Implants also can be used for partial dentures, full denture implants, or what’s called fixed dentures. Replacing a group of missing teeth, fixed dentures are secured to dental implants so they can’t be removed. They work similar to a bridge but are held in place with one or more implants instead of natural teeth. After getting dental implants, you can expect higher self-esteem as a result of your new smile and improved appearance. You also can eat your favorite foods again!

As an artificial tooth root, implants provide the strong foundation needed for tooth replacement and may be just the option you’re looking for. For many, dental implants provide an excellent way to restore their smile after losing a tooth. As an artificial tooth root, implants provide the strong foundation needed for tooth replacement and may be just the option you’re looking for. The Many Benefits of Dental Implants Dental implants do a lot more than just allow a beautiful smile: They improve your oral health — even your overall health — as well. Here’s how. Restoring Your Ability to Chew Dental implants function like normal teeth. When you’re able to chew foods properly, you can give your body the nutrients it needs through a healthy diet. Chewing fully and with normal force also helps digestion since you can break down food into smaller pieces. Preventing Gum Disease and Tooth Decay Implants are made of titanium so they aren’t susceptible to harm from bacteria, but your natural teeth can decay over time. Since food and bacteria tend to stick around in open places in your mouth, dentures and dental implants can offer protection to your surrounding natural teeth. By closing gaps, harmful bacteria are less likely to grow and cause gum disease or tooth decay down the road. Offering Comfort and Convenience Dental implants are surgically placed into your jaw. They offer a permanent, low maintenance solution. Unlike traditional dentures, they don’t shift in place or require any special care. Protecting You Against Bone Loss Your jawbone requires the pressure from normal chewing to stay healthy. When you’re missing a tooth and it doesn’t... - Published: 2024-11-13 - Modified: 2025-02-28 - URL: http://www.southernpointedental.com/dental-emergencies-that-cant-wait/ It can be tempting to ignore tooth pain or bleeding gums when you have a lot going on. But it’s important not to wait too long before getting help. While some dental conditions can wait, many require urgent treatment. Learn more about the different types of dental emergencies and how to determine if you need to contact your dentist to schedule an emergency appointment. It can be tempting to ignore tooth pain or bleeding gums when you have a lot going on. But it’s important not to wait too long before getting help. While some dental conditions can wait, many require urgent treatment. Learn more about the different types of dental emergencies and how to determine if you need to contact your dentist to schedule an emergency appointment. What is a Dental Emergency? Dental emergencies include any injury to your mouth, tooth, gums or the surrounding tissue that causes severe pain, bleeding you can’t control, or a broken facial bone. And most fall into one of these three categories: complications following a procedure, infection or trauma. Some dental emergencies don’t cause pain right away but can evolve into a more serious condition. On the other hand, mouth pain or sores could be the first sign of something more serious. Either way, it takes an emergency dentist to get to the root, so to speak, of the problem. While the emergency room is the perfect place for many other types of urgent issues, hospitals may not be equipped to perform emergency dental procedures. So, it’s best to find specialized emergency dental services for mouth-related pain and injuries near you. How to Handle Dental Emergencies If you decide your situation is an emergency, it’s important to know what to do next.
