What's your best option for replacing a missing tooth? For natural feel, function and appearance, it's the dental implant from your family dental implants dentists at Beavercreek Dental Group. Plus, guess what? For optimal longevity, the dental implant delivers again. Would you like details on this superior dental prosthetic? Then, read the details from Dr. Charles Dean and Dr. Christopher Cripe, experts in tooth replacement technology.

Dental implants are superior

Dental implants are better than conventional dentures and fixed bridgework. Why is this? It's because the titanium metal implant screw resides within a patient's jaw bone, conferring superior anchorage and retention. Implants and human bone adhere exceptionally well because of a natural process called osseointegration. Once a site fully heals after dental implant surgery and your family dentist in Beavercreek bonds on a custom-made post and crown, the new artificial tooth stays put for a lifetime.

Dental implants are versatile

These amazing prosthetics may be placed virtually anywhere in the mouth where jaw bone is strong enough to support the implant. Dr. Dean or Dr. Cripe determines a patient's suitability for an implant through oral examination, X-rays and three-dimensional imaging. Additionally, the best implant patients are non-smokers who are diligent about brushing, flossing and getting their six-month check-ups and cleanings at Beavercreek Dental Group.

In addition, your dentists often use multiple implant devices to anchor and support fixed bridges (which replace one, two or more adjoining teeth) and partial and full dentures. These innovative replacements eliminate the problems often associated with conventional prosthetics:

Slippage
Speech slurring
Gum and bone recession
Need for denture adhesives and liners
Enamel reduction on supporting natural teeth

Easy to care for, stable, and so realistic, implants from Beavercreek Dental Group enhance smiles and improve oral function in both older teens and adults. They may be able to help you!
