In our most recent blog post, our team discussed the benefits of securing your denture with biocompatible implant posts and how this process can help complete your smile in a lifelike manner. Indeed, advances in dental technology have paved the way for greater smile outcomes for patients, and knowing your options can significantly elevate your smile capabilities. In today’s blog, your Conroe, TX dentist will explain how implant technology can aid in oral function and why it is important to have your lost or missing teeth replaced.
Addressing Functional Needs
It goes without saying that when it comes down to it, losing a permanent tooth is often not at the forefront of most people’s minds. After all, if you simply brush your teeth routinely you should be fine, right? On the contrary, your smile requires a bit more attention than you might initially expect, and unfortunately, it only takes one instance of falling short in your routine for harmful bacteria to begin wreaking havoc.
When a person loses a tooth, it becomes much more than a visible issue. As a matter of fact, your crown and root system as a whole is what contributes to your ability to perform routine tasks – such as biting, chewing, and eating – and missing so much as a single tooth can significantly complicate these processes.
Not only do your teeth shift to accommodate the missing gap, but missing a crown and root system will impact your functional capabilities by making routine tasks more difficult to accomplish. Fortunately, implant dentistry considers these issues when offering solutions. To learn more about this process and how our team can help, give us a call today.
Providing Greater Precision
At The Dental Centre of Conroe, our team utilizes various technologies to gain a full and complete understanding of your dental needs. We use digital x-rays, CAT scans, CAD/CAM, and laser procedures to remove any compromised teeth and plan the placement of your implant post.
Because the biocompatible post and artificial crown are designed to mimic your natural crown and root system, your implant treatment can help address questions of oral function in addition to completing your smile once more. Contact our team today to learn about your options.
Structural Benefits of Posts
Another way implants aid in oral function is that they fulfill the role of your teeth roots in stimulating your jawbone and tissues. This keeps the tissues strong enough to support your post and, subsequently, provides structural integrity for your bite to function properly without fear of faltering.
