Restore Missing Teeth With Dental Implants
Many patients choose to get dental implants in Jacksonville, NC when they have one or more missing teeth. Dr. Futrell or Dr. Reese may recommend teeth implants when you have a missing tooth because it was decayed and had to be extracted, or you lost your teeth because of gum disease. Dental implants are a proven method for replacing missing teeth permanently.
Facts About Missing Teeth
- Your diet and lifestyle can increase or decrease your risk of tooth loss
- Approximately 178 million people in the United States are missing at least one tooth
- More than 20% of adults older than 65 years of age have lost all their teeth because of gum disease or tooth decay
- 90% of patients without any teeth choose dentures for tooth replacement
One of the most effective and proven methods for restoring your teeth is with dental implants. If you have one or more missing teeth, implants can restore your smile and improve overall functioning of your jaw. Dr. Stephen Futrell and Dr. Chad Reese are experienced in implant dentistry and implant dentures and can prepare a custom treatment plan that will restore your smile.
- Benefits of Dental Implants
Top Benefits of Dental Implant Restorations
Since teeth implants are a permanent tooth replacement procedure, they eliminate all the risks and complications associated with traditional dentures. Dental implants are fused to the jawbone and help to stimulate the jaw. They improve overall functioning of the jaw and can enhance your smile!
Undergoing Dental Implant Surgery
Drs. Futrell and Reese have extensive experience restoring dental implants. To ensure optimal results for the patient they will either place the implant using Cone Beam and CEREC® guidance or will team with a local periodontist who specializes in placing the implants for larger cases. Once the dental implant or implants have been placed, Drs. Futrell and Reese are able to complete the process with crowns or dentures.
- Implant Supported Dentures
Implant Supported Dentures For Missing Teeth
Some patients prefer to get implant supported dentures instead of traditional dentures. Implant-supported devices offer more stability and a secure fit. These dentures are secured with a set of dental implants that secure the dentures to the jawbone.
What are the Benefits of Implant Supported Dentures?
Drs. Futrell or Reese may recommend implant-supported dentures if you want more stability than traditional dentures provide. Dental implants secure these dentures in place in the following ways:
Bar-Retained Dentures
We place a set of metal bars along the gum line to serve as a foundation for a set of dentures. These bars connect the dental implants to the dentures.
Ball-Retained Dentures
A ball-and-socket mechanism connects the top of the implant to the base of the denture with a secure locking action. This prevents the dentures from slipping or shifting.
I would like to thank Dr. Reese and the staff for their professionalism, outstanding costumer service and overall friendly office. You wont find a dentist that cares more and is more accommodating than here.
