Regain Your Confidence With Dental Implants In East Lansing, MI

Wouldn’t you like to speak or bite into an apple knowing your dental implants won’t slip? Perhaps you’re missing one or more teeth? How about ending your day with an easy brush-and-floss routine without removing dentures?

If you’ve answered “yes” to any of these questions, then dental implants (artificial tooth root and crown replacements) may be right for you.

Speak to your friends who have experienced tooth loss… They’ll likely tell you about the associated embarrassment … covering their smiles … the social unease … the challenge with speaking and chewing. Dental implants have been the answer for millions of people!

What are dental implants and how can they help me regain my smile and my confidence?

It’s hard to imagine, but 69% of North Americans aged 35-44 have had at least one tooth removed every year as a result of infection, gum disease, or accidents. When you lose teeth, several problems can occur. The remaining teeth can shift, rotate, and become crooked. This can leave you with a bad bite and unsightly spaces, making it painful to chew food, and it can make home care more difficult. Sometimes, the appearance is embarrassing, too.

Once you’ve had an implant, rather than having a mouth with missing teeth, you’ll have a dazzling smile that brightens your face. In fact, studies show that smiling releases endorphins, which will all boost your mood, immune system, and self-confidence. And in a vast array of social situations, you’ll appear more attractive and you’ll act with more confidence – guaranteed!

Who is a candidate for this procedure?

Dental implants offer a durable and esthecially pleasing solution for replacing missing teeth. Here’s a breakdown of ideal candidates for this procedure:

• Healthy Oral Tissues: The success of the implant depends on the candidate's having healthy gums free from periodontal disease.
• Sufficient Bone Density: The implant cannot be supported without sufficient bone density. Patients who have lost bone may need a bone graft prior to receiving implants.
• Non-smokers: Smoking can impede the healing and procedure process and have a detrimental impact on the implant's success.
• Patients Without Chronic Illnesses: Leukemia and other chronic illnesses can impede the healing and procedure method following surgery.

How To Maintain Your Implant

To avoid scratching the surface of your implant, begin by brushing your teeth at least twice a day with a toothbrush with soft bristles and toothpaste that isn't too harsh. Reducing bacteria near the implant area can be further assisted by using an antimicrobial mouthwash. Frequent dental checkups are necessary for professional cleanings and to keep an eye on the condition of the implant and the surrounding tissues, ideally every six months. If you grind your teeth, you can ask us about our bruxism nightguards which are designed to prevent excessive wear on the implant and your natural teeth.
