A complete and confident smile is a source of joy and self-assurance, and dental implant restorations are a transformative solution for individuals seeking to reclaim their smile's beauty and functionality. Dental implants offer a permanent and natural-looking option for replacing missing teeth, restoring oral health, and enhancing the overall quality of life.
At Emery L. Edwards, DDS, we can restore dental implants placed by your periodontist or oral surgeon. Dental implant restorations involve the placement of prosthetic teeth onto these implant posts, creating a seamless and durable replacement for natural teeth.
During your first visit, our dentist in Gulfport, MS, will first evaluate your oral health, assess your suitability for dental implants, and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. The dentist will then implement the plan, placing the dental implant into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure. Over several months, the implant is integrated with the bone through osseointegration.
Once the implant has fused with the bone, an abutment is attached to the implant post. This serves as the foundation for the planned dental restoration. Your dentist takes impressions of your teeth and gums to create a custom-made restoration that matches your natural teeth in size, shape, and color.
The final step involves placing the dental restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) onto the abutment. This completes the implant restoration, resulting in a fully functional and aesthetically pleasing replacement tooth.
Dental implant restorations in Gulfport, MS, closely mimic the appearance of natural teeth. The materials used are designed to match the color, shape, and size of your existing teeth, resulting in a seamless and natural-looking smile. No one can tell the difference between implant-supported restoration and natural teeth.
Missing teeth can often make you feel self-conscious and have low self-esteem. Dental implant restorations restore your smile and empower you to interact with others confidently, whether in social settings or professional environments.
One of the remarkable advantages of dental implant restorations is their functionality. Unlike traditional dentures that can slip out or hinder you from enjoying certain foods, implants enable you to enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions. You can bite, chew, and speak naturally as you would with your natural teeth.
When a tooth is lost, the underlying jawbone can deteriorate over time due to a lack of stimulation. Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, helping to maintain its density and prevent bone loss. This preservation of bone health also contributes to keeping your facial structure and preventing a sunken appearance.
Dental implant restorations are not just replacements for missing teeth. They are transformative solutions that empower you to embrace life with confidence, joy, and a dazzling smile.
