If you have one or more missing teeth, you realize the embarrassment and frustration that come along with that. For the best way to regain the appearance of your smile, as well as full functionality, the most ideal treatment option is dental implants. Melbourne area dentist, Dr. Bagwell, and patients alike, find that replacing missing teeth with dental implants offer stunning results in both the aesthetics and stability of just about any smile.
In the past, dentures were the common choice for tooth replacement. While dentures offer eye-pleasing results, their functionality isn’t always as sound as that provided by dental implants. Dental implants are fixed and fused directly into the jawbone, much like the natural root of the original tooth. Once the implant is fully fused, a crown will be attached to the dental implant by your Melbourne dentist as the actual restoration for your natural tooth. The results are a fully natural new tooth or set of teeth that look, feel and act as the ones you were born with.
The materials which dental implants and crowns are composed of are some of the strongest, most durable that dentistry has to offer. The implants are designed of titanium steel to offer the sturdiest foundation for your crown. Crowns are typically created from ceramic porcelain, which offers reliable results in strength and are virtually chip and stain resistant. This option is the preferred choice, because of their extreme likeness to the real tooth and tooth root, giving you the ability to eat, speak, and exude the confidence you had with your original teeth.
Dental implants by your Melbourne dentist offer a permanent solution for missing teeth. In fact, with proper placement and care, your implants are meant to last you the rest of your life. For more information about these dental lifesavers, call to schedule your consultation with Dr. Bagwell today.
