\"dental<\/a>At Imagine Smiles, we absolutely love granting good news. In fact, one of the highlights of <\/span>Dr. Green\u2019s<\/span><\/a> day is telling patients with missing teeth that they\u2019re good candidates for dental implants. That\u2019s because absolutely nothing completes a smile as well as this option — and Dr. Green is passionate about building beautiful, healthy smiles in our community. Now the question is, are dental implants in Blaine a good option for you and your teeth? Keep reading to find out more about filling in your smile gaps in 2016!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Blaine dental implants provide whole-tooth replacement <\/span><\/h3>\n

When we say nothing replaces missing teeth like dental implants, we mean it. This option provides a prosthetic root for the replacement tooth, while other options, like fixed bridges or non-implant supported dentures, only replace the visible portion of the tooth. That\u2019s important for a couple of reasons — let\u2019s find out why.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dental implants provide stability through osseointegration<\/span><\/h4>\n

Osseointe-<\/span>what<\/span><\/i>? It\u2019s a big word that just means the titanium dental implant and your jawbone fuse together over a period of about six months. After this process is complete, your implant is as solid as any other bone in your body — and the prosthetic tooth that rests on top is as stable as your other natural teeth. With dental implants, you can eat, speak and smile anytime you want, free from the stress or anxiety of a loose or ill-fitting device. <\/span><\/p>\n

Stimulation keeps your jawbone healthy and whole<\/span><\/h4>\n

Another significant advantage of dental implants is the fact that the prosthetic root provides the stimulation your jawbone needs to stay healthy. Options that replace only the visible portion of the tooth cause the bone to degenerate and change shape over time — a process that requires the device be refitted every five years or so. But with dental implants, your mouth stays whole and youthful-looking for a lifetime!<\/span><\/p>\n

Considering your candidacy for dental implants<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re wondering whether or not dental implants are a good choice for you and your smile, you should schedule your appointment with Dr. Green at Imagine Smiles today. When you come in for your consultation, he\u2019ll check your mouth for two things in particular.<\/span><\/p>\n

First, he\u2019ll make sure you\u2019ve got enough jawbone structure present to support the dental implants. Sometimes teeth have been missing for so long that significant bone loss has taken place, and options like bone grafting must be considered.<\/span><\/p>\n

Second, he\u2019ll discuss your health history and examine your mouth to make sure you\u2019re in strong health for dental implants. Patients with advanced cases of gum disease or diseases that weaken the immune system, like diabetes or HIV, are not good candidates for dental implants.<\/span><\/p>\n
