You\u2019re missing a tooth \u2013 but this is no big deal, since it\u2019s only one pearly white \u2013 right? Wrong. No matter how many missing teeth you have, they negatively affect your existing dentitions. From making them more susceptible to breaks, to causing alignment problems, you need to fill in the gaps to keep the rest of your smile healthy. With a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilecarolinadental.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implant<\/a> in Mount Pleasant, SC from Dr. Virginia L. Gregory, you can get your oral health \u2013 and your beautiful grin \u2013 back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental implants are the gold standard for replacement teeth. To start the process for them, Dr. Gregory will talk with you about the results you want, how many implants you need, and she\u2019ll develop an individualized treatment plan especially for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Implants consist of three parts that form your replacement tooth:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><u>Implant<\/u> \u2013 A biocompatible titanium post will be surgically placed in your jaw and this will become the secure foundation you need. You\u2019ll need time to heal and allow the post to fuse with the bone before the next two pieces can be attached.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><u>Abutment<\/u> \u2013 This is the connecting piece between the implant and the tooth-shaped \u201ccap.\u201d The abutment will then be affixed to the implant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><u>Crown<\/u> \u2013 The part of the replacement that looks like the tooth itself is the dental crown. The long-lasting, naturally-looking porcelain crown will be secured to the abutment, restoring your smile to its former glory.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Are Dental Implants The Best Way To Replace Teeth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental implants are the superior method of replacing teeth for many reasons, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aaid-implant.org\/about-dental-implants\/what-are-the-benefits-of-dental-implants-over-other-treatments\/\">Increased Jawbone Strength<\/a> \u2013 Dental implants actually augment the density of the jawbone, rather than causing it to wear away like dentures and bridges do.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><u>Improved Nutrition<\/u> \u2013 Since your implant will stay in place, you\u2019ll be able to chew a variety of foods and maintain a well-balanced diet. Apples, carrots, and corn on the cob can be a part of your menu again.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><u>Protect Natural Teeth <\/u>\u2013 Because dental implants don\u2019t move around, they do a great job of protecting your remaining teeth. They keep your dentitions properly aligned, preventing complications like shifting, cracks, and breaks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><u>Better Speech<\/u> \u2013 You\u2019ll never have to worry about being understood when you talk with dental implants. They don\u2019t move around in your mouth like dentures, so you\u2019ll be able to speak clearly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><u>Your Smile Will Stay In Place<\/u> \u2013 Who wants to put their teeth in a cup at night? You won\u2019t have to worry about the embarrassment of dentures in your daily life, even when you kiss your sweetheart. And, you can say goodbye to messy dental adhesives.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><u>Longevity<\/u> \u2013 Dental implants last longer than traditional dentures and dental bridges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><u>Appearance <\/u>\u2013 Implants will blend right in with your existing dentitions \u2013 the only person who\u2019ll notice you have a false tooth is you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you know how dental implants can improve your overall health while making your smile look great, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilecarolinadental.com\/contact.html\">schedule your appointment<\/a> with your dentist in Mount Pleasant, SC and make your teeth healthy and radiant again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For longer than you\u2019d like to admit, you\u2019ve had a blank spot in your smile.
