Dental Implants

Missing teeth can cause a number of problems, including weakening of the jaw, insecurity about the physical appearance, discomfort, and more. If you have a missing tooth or teeth, you have probably gotten used to “making things work.” But what if you didn’t have to just deal with it? Our team at The Greeneville Dentist can make that possible. We can help bring your mouth back to where it should be and assist in restoring your self-confidence.

What is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a metal post that is fused to the jawbone through surgery. The implant is made to imitate a natural tooth root, which allows the jawbone to maintain its strength and your other teeth can stay in place as they should. A natural-looking dental crown is placed over an implant after the surgery has taken place.

What are the Benefits of Getting a Dental Implant?

There are a number of treatment options for people who are missing teeth, but dental implants are one of the best for the following reasons:

  • They promote overall oral health – Implants preserve the jawbone from deterioration like no other treatment can. Neighboring teeth are also unaffected by dental implant placement.
  • They protect your appearance – Missing teeth can cause the face to appear sunken and worn. Implants can keep that from occurring.
  • They appear natural – Implants are covered with dental crowns that are made to match the shape, color, and size of your natural teeth.
  • They are comfortable – Your dental implants are not going anywhere. There’s no need to worry about your teeth sliding out of place or making it hard to maintain normal eating or conversation.
