Whether you have lost a tooth to decay, infection, or trauma, your quality of life was lost along with it. Now, you not only live with low self-esteem, but you also struggle to chew your favorite foods. You have tried conventional treatments to replace your missing tooth, like a bridge, but it did not feel natural. Now, you are wondering if dental implants in Naples will give you the results you want? A dental implant is the next best thing to your real tooth, so your new smile will feel natural. No matter if you are missing one tooth, several teeth, or an entire arch, dental implants can restore your smile.
Do Dental Implants Feel Natural?
Dental implants differ from any other tooth replacement because it treats both the root and the crown. Surgically inserting a titanium implant post acts as a new root, stimulating bone growth in your jaw. Your jawbone fuses to the post to create a secure foundation for your new tooth. You will not need to worry about any added strain on your remaining natural teeth, slipping, or irritation. You can regain as much as 70% of your biting force to enjoy your favorite foods again. You can also enjoy a hot cup of coffee or an ice cream cone without experiencing any tooth sensitivity.
Do Dental Implants Look Natural?
Besides feeling like a real tooth, dental implants also feel natural. Your dentist in Naples carefully crafts your restoration from all-ceramic material. It is customized to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth to blend in seamlessly when you smile. Light reflects off the crown similarly to how it does your enamel, so no one will be able to tell that it is not a real tooth.
How Many Teeth Can I Replace?
Dental implants can be used to treat all cases of tooth loss if you are a candidate for the procedure; however, the number of posts and the materials used will vary slightly.
- Single Tooth: An implant post, an abutment, and a restoration fill the empty space.
- Multiple Teeth: A bridge of prosthetics is created to fill the gap which is held in place using an average of 1 or 2 implant posts.
- Complete Arch: A custom-made denture is secured to your jaw using an average of 4 implant posts.
