Dental Implants
Patients missing one or more teeth often become keenly aware of how much teeth impact appearance, quality of life, and dental health. All of your teeth work together to help you chew, speak, and smile, and losing teeth makes these tasks difficult. Even the loss of a back tooth may cause your bite to shift and your face to look older. Dental implants can replace a single tooth or several missing teeth.
Constructed from biocompatible titanium, dental implants consist of artificial tooth roots and a prosthetic tooth or teeth. Before a qualified specialist surgically places the implants into the jaw, Dr. Crabtree will evaluate your mouth to determine if you are a good candidate for dental implants. Once you receive the implants, your jawbone will naturally fuse to the biocompatible titanium implant posts. Dr. Crabtree will then place the permanent crowns on the implants, and you will once again enjoy a strong, complete smile. Sometimes, dental implants can be used to secure a bridge or denture, so ask Dr. Crabtree about this option.
