It’s hard to live with missing teeth. Whether lost from injury or illness, whether several or just one, having gaps in your smile can hurt your self-esteem. It can also make breathing, speaking, drinking, and chewing difficult. But now there’s an option for permanent tooth replacements that look natural, function just like natural teeth, and preserve your jaw health: dental implants. Oral surgeons who specialize in dental implant surgery use small titanium screws with tooth-like crowns to replace both the root and the exposed tooth. Your jaw will heal around the screw implant, naturally anchoring the new tooth into your mouth. It is the only truly permanent and holistic way to reconstruct a smile.
