How dental implants from your dentists in Douglasville, GA, can rebuild your smile

If you need to replace lost teeth and you are thinking about dental implants, you need to know the facts. You need to know why dental implants are the best long-term tooth replacement available, and how you and your smile can benefit from dental implants.

Dr. Brian Deas and Dr. Candice Hardwick at Creekside Dental in Douglasville, GA, offer comprehensive dental care, including dental implants to rebuild your smile.

Let’s take a look at just a few of the most frequently asked questions and answers about dental implants:

How many teeth can I replace with dental implants?

You can replace one missing tooth with a single dental implant, several missing teeth with several dental implants, or an entire arch of teeth with an implant-supported denture. Dental implants can give you back your smile no matter how many teeth you have lost.

What are some of the advantages of dental implants?

Dental implants look and function just like natural teeth. The dental implant screw functions as the “root” of your missing tooth. The dental implant crown is made of materials that closely resemble natural tooth enamel. Dental implants are also completely stable because they are anchored in place by bone. They will never move around and you never have to take them out.

How do I take care of dental implants?

One of the main advantages of dental implants is that you can brush and floss them just like natural teeth. Dental implants are a convenient, healthy way to achieve a great smile.

Do dental implants ever fail?

Another great advantage of dental implants is that they are extremely successful, boasting a success rate of over 95 percent, according to the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. There are some factors that can delay the healing of dental implants, so be sure and tell your dentist if you smoke, drink alcohol, have diabetes, or have a history of radiation to your jaws or face.
