Gaps in your smile can make you feel self-conscious. However, aside from aesthetics, these gaps have various effects on the functionality of your smile. Fortunately, dental implants can fill in your gaps and more. Find out more about dental implants with your dentists at Seaview Dental Arts in Galloway, NJ.
What can dental implants do for me?
Dental implants can fill in your gaps, regardless if you have one or many missing teeth. For a single missing tooth, your Galloway dentist surgically places one implant into its socket. A dental crown sits on top of the implant to replace the missing tooth. If you have several teeth missing in a row, your dentist will not necessarily place an implant for each tooth. Instead, strategically placed implants, usually one on either side, hold a dental bridge in place. To replace an entire arch of teeth, four or more implants throughout the arch of the mouth secure a full denture in place.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental Implants in Galloway, NJ
Candidates for dental implants should be healthy enough to undergo the general anesthetic the procedure requires. They should also be in good dental health with a strong at-home oral care routine. Additionally, candidates should have enough bone volume in their mouth to support their implants. If the bone volume is not adequate, your dentist may recommend a bone graft to replace it.
