Typically, if you have complete or substantial tooth loss, it is cheaper to get implant-supported dentures in Lakeland, FL, or a fixed bridge than a single implant for every lost tooth. However, your dentist will evaluate your case for candidacy and costs before proceeding.
It’s important to remember that missing teeth are not merely an aesthetic problem. They can impact bite force, jawbone health, and even digestion. We encourage you to schedule a dental assessment to restore your smile.
Options include:
- Single Dental Implants
- Implant-Supported Dentures
- Implant-Supported Bridges
About Quality Dental Implants in Lakeland, FL
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made from biocompatible titanium. Your dentist surgically implants these roots into the jawbone using image-guided technology. These new roots integrate into the bone, creating a solid underpinning for replacement teeth.
Typically, it takes six or fewer dental implants to secure an entire arch of replacement teeth. In this case, you are not purchasing a single implant for every lost tooth.
Sometimes, if you’ve experienced jawbone loss or sinus placement is too low, you may require pretreatments to make implants a reality.
We’ll know more about this during your consultation with the dentist.
The Unique Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants support jawbone health to prevent further oral health issues and a sunken appearance in the lower face. They also prevent tooth migration if you have remaining teeth. Tooth migration can lead to additional tooth loss.
With dental implants, you’ll enjoy a lasting and functional new smile without eating restrictions and maintenance-free prosthetics that require only general care, such as regular checkups and good oral hygiene.
