So you’ve lost some teeth and now hesitate to smile because of the gaps. If only you could go back in time and recover that full-toothed smile you once had. Guess what? With dental implants from the Billings Dentist, you can!
For most patients, a tooth implant is the ideal replacement for both the root and crown of a tooth. They feel so authentic that implant recipients forget that they ever lost a tooth in the first place.
A tooth implant is anchored into the jawbone with a strong metal post. It doesn’t slide around like dentures, and unlike a dental bridge, it protects a healthy jawbone and restricts bone recession. After the post is completely enmeshed with the jawbone, the supporting device (called an abutment) and beautiful crown are firmly attached to the post. Some patients are able to undergo all three parts of the procedure at once.
If you’ve lost many teeth, you may be a good candidate for implant-anchored dentures. Talk to Dr. Johnson to learn more.
Another way to go back in time is to brighten your teeth to the sparkling color they were when you were a teenager. There are several different types of tooth whitening systems, from same-day procedures to at-home treatments. Again, meet with Dr. Johnson about your goals and budget.
Have you ever wished your smile looked like it did before you had any tooth decay? (Many of us can’t remember that far back!) Talk to us about tooth-colored fillings. White fillings match your teeth, and significantly improve your smile without crowns.
Perhaps you have chipped a tooth. We have numerous solutions to fix that issue as well. Talk to us about your goals for your smile. We look forward to creating a custom treatment plan to perfect your smile. Call today!
