The loss of one or more teeth can have a major impact on the function and shape of your mouth and the appearance of your smile:
- Missing teeth can change the shape of your mouth and the look of your face.
- Gaps in your teeth can impair your ability to eat certain foods.
- The spaces left by missing teeth can reduce the attractiveness of your smile and diminish your
sense of confidence.
A dental implant is made from titanium. It bonds to the jaw, much like the root of a natural tooth and permanently replaces a lost tooth. Dental implants are suitable to anyone in good general health.
They are put in place during a simple, short surgical procedure done under local anesthetic. After a healing period, a permanent restoration is crafted to fit on top of the implant, creating a tooth that compliments your smile.
My Dentist on Steeles has been helping patients realize the benefits of replacement teeth that mimic the look and feel of natural teeth.
