Dental Implants
Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth or stabilize a denture. At Snyder Dental Group we have the ability to complete your treatment without the need to visit another office.
A dental implant is a small, titanium post that is placed into your upper or lower jaw bone. After the bone has integrated around the implant, it can hold a crown, bridge or denture just like the roots of your natural teeth would.
With dental implants we are able to replace single teeth or an entire arch of teeth that have been lost because of injury or disease.
After placement, implants require the same care as your natural teeth. Because titanium is compatible with bone and tissue implants are very durable and can last a lifetime.
Why should you replace missing teeth?
Replacing missing teeth is not only an esthetic decision, but may also prevent you from losing more teeth in the future. Here are some of the negative affects of not replacing a lost tooth.
- Loss of bone, which causes changes in your face structure
- Surrounding teeth can start to shift, leading to changes in your bite, headaches, and a higher risk for decay and gum disease
- Changes in your speech
- Difficutly chewing
Why you may want to consider dental implants:
- To replace one or more teeth
- To provide support and stability for a full or partial denture
- To improve chewing
- To increase self confidence while eating, talking and smiling
