Getting Dental Implants in Hamden make Caramel Apples Popular Again
Tooth loss can occur for many reasons. Those of generations past were only given the option of putting their teeth in a glass each night before going to bed, and forget about eating popcorn balls or caramel apples! But now we have the ability to get new teeth. Teeth that can perform as our teeth once did, and without getting cavities.
Procedure:
Whether you have a few teeth missing, or require an entire new set, dental implants can provide you with a permanent solution to painful or missing teeth in Hamden.
By either attaching a metal frame to your gums, or putting in a screw, blade or cylinder to hold your new tooth/teeth, implants are held into place securely. This means no shift, no slide, no glass.
Benefits:
- Implants prevent further loss of jaw bone and in fact can help to strengthen your jawbone by tooth to tooth stimulation.
- Implants are personalized. You pick the style, size, shape, and even color of your implants so that they appear natural
- Along with providing strength for your jawbone, implants also help to restore your bite force. With dentures, bridges, and partials, those caramel apples are still an elusive treat, but with implants your new teeth are anchored into place.
- Tooth loss can make your face sag, but with implants, your face’s shape is now supported.
- Missing teeth can also change your speech patterns. With implants your words will flow naturally.
- Dentures and partials can slip. It’s a fact, and the embarrassment of laughing and having your teeth fly out makes for a great meme but it’s not fun.
- You don’t have to buy special products to take care of your teeth. Regular brushing and flossing does the trick.
- Implants that are replacing only a few teeth, support the adjacent teeth, making them in effect stronger and keeping your natural teeth longer.
- And going back to those caramel apples, implants don’t get cavities! As long as you maintain a regular schedule of cleanings and brush and floss, you are in the clear.
Not everyone is a candidate for implants, but here in Hamden, we have experienced dentists to help you determine if implants are right for you. If your gums are good but you have some issues with your jawbone, we can do additional strengthening of the jaw prior to the procedure.
The surgery itself can take up to an hour per implant, and it can take some time afterwards for your mouth to heal enough to get the prosthetic tooth. Parkway Dental professionals will take the time to find out what type of implants you require, and walk you through each step of the process. We make sure that you have regular checks after your implants to keep track of any problems that might occur.
