Replacement of missing teeth with dental
implants
 "Well, you know Doc, it's just a back tooth. No one will see it so I'll just get rid of it. It's not going to make a difference."
Unfortunately we hear this type of comment at Family Dental Group more often than you
would think.
The plain truth is that it will make a difference.
At Family Dental Group we know the loss of just a single tooth
is the most common event that sets a
a course that can destroy an entire mouth. "Well, if that's true, tell me more. I sure don't want to lose the front ones that I smile with."
Dr. Epstein often answers with an explanation that teeth will drift and tip into a space that is created by missing teeth.
Just like two gears of a car that are not properly aligned, pretty soon you've got a whole lot of problems.
"Well, I don't like that. What can I do?"
The doctors at Family Dental Group believe in
explaining your options fully, including the benefits and risks of the
possible treatments as well as the consequences of lack of treatment.
Replacing teeth with dental implants at Family Dental Group is often the
most comfortable, lasting and natural looking alternative. Because
implants have such a terrific track record and can allow you to replace
just what you’ve lost without the need to involve other teeth, implants
are often very economical over the long run.
Dental implants are strong, perfectly comfortable anchors that replace
natural tooth roots with titanium “roots” that are immune to decay,
highly resistant to any form of gum disease, and help to prevent the
bone loss that inevitably follows the loss of teeth. The implants are
permanently anchored into the jaw and can last a lifetime. Once the
implants are ready they can be used to hold a single replacement tooth,
a few teeth, or a complete set of teeth.
The doctors at Family Dental Group were among the first in Connecticut
to bring this technology to the area, and are a highly trained and
experienced multi-specialty team, combining the expertise of an Oral
Surgeon and Periodontist to place the implants, and a Prosthodontist and
specially trained General Dentists to restore them. If you have any questions about missing teeth and possible implant treatment, please call our office
at (203) DEN-TIST.
