A missing puzzle piece may not ruin a jigsaw puzzle, but a missing tooth can be very unsightly and ruin your smile. At The Dental Design Center in White Plains NY, we have dental implants that can restore a smile.
A missing tooth can cause more than an unpleasant appearance. When a tooth and its root are gone, the teeth on each side of the gap begin to rotate. This can result in trouble eating and even speaking.
To make matters worse, the missing tooth root can also lead to bone recession. The jawbone is stimulated and kept healthy by biting and chewing action. When the root isn’t there anymore, the bone actually begins to recede. This leads to a shrunken appearance in the face.
Dental implants can solve this. An implant is a post that is inserted in the jaw. These posts are usually made of medical-grade titanium, which is ideally suited to fusing with human bone. Once it does it forms a solid foundation for the artificial tooth it will support.
Dental implants have been hailed as one of the most important advances in dentistry, and they’re available at The Dental Design Center in White Plains NY. Patients from Scarsdale, Westchester County, and New Castle come to us for implants, and for restorative dentistry services. Please call our office to schedule an appointment today!
