Dental Implants
If you are
missing one or more teeth, you'll want replacements that are as
natural as possible. If dentures don't work for you, you may
consider dental implants. Unlike dentures, which can be removed,
implants are permanently anchored into the jaw itself.
You are a good candidate for implants if you have jawbone ridges
that are in good shape and healthy oral tissues. When the implant
device is inserted into the jaw, a chemical and mechanical bond is
formed. The jawbone actually grows into the implant.
With implants, you get a perfect fit, and they will look and feel as
good as (or better than!) your original teeth.
The above photo also includes the use of a good example of
permanently implanting a synthetic tooth to fill a gap
Additionally, as you can see, tooth-colored fillings can
substantially improve the beauty of your teeth.
