Dental Implants

Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth, several teeth, or all of the teeth. A dental implant is a surgical fixture that is placed into the jawbone and allowed to fuse with the bone over a span of a few months. Today, dental implants are considered the stand of care for the replacement of missing teeth. If you have missing teeth that are leaving you self-conscious and are hindering your desire to smile, discuss your treatment options with Dr. Dennis Morehart, DDS.

Dental implants are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth. If you wear dentures that are uncomfortable or don’t want to have healthy tooth structure removed for a dental bridge, then you may want to discuss dental implants with Dr. Dennis Morehart, DDS. Most patients find that a dental implant is secure, stable, and a sturdy replacement for replacing a natural tooth.

Consequences of Missing Teeth

Although tooth loss is typically associated with the elderly, missing teeth can occur in adults for a variety of reasons. Whether you’ve lost a tooth to decay, or injury, tooth loss can rob you of much more than the ability to chew and properly digest food. It can have serious social, psychological and emotional consequences as well. At the dental practice of Dr. Dennis Morehart, DDS we don’t want you to experience the consequences of a toothless grin. This is why we offer a wide variety of restorative and cosmetic options to give you the smile you’ve always dreamed of.

The most obvious effect of missing teeth is aesthetic. When a tooth is lost, the facial muscles begin to sag, making you appear older than you are. Additionally, missing teeth will make it more difficult to chew and may even affect the way you speak. The more teeth a person is missing, the more challenging the task to replace them can become. It can also be costly. It is important to have regular dental visits with us to prolong the life of your teeth.
