Dental implants for replacing missing teeth

Replacing missing teeth is necessary for several reasons. First, your smile is incomplete when one or more teeth are missing, especially in the smile zone. Your chewing and speaking efficiency are also compromised. Additionally, you may experience issues with bone loss if you leave missing teeth unreplaced. Dr. Reza N. Roodsar and his team at Auburn Centre Dental in Waterloo, Ontario, encourage you to consider replacing teeth as soon as possible and often recommends dental implants.

What are dental implants, and how do they work to replace missing teeth?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots placed in the jawbone through a surgical procedure. Once they have integrated with the jawbone, they can support a dental crown or bridge. This process, known as osseointegration, provides a stable foundation for artificial teeth.

Once your implant surgery has been completed by Dr. Reza N. Roodsar and his team, and osseointegration has taken place, you will return to Auburn Centre Dental for your follow-up appointment. During this appointment, impressions of your mouth are taken to fabricate your custom-made restoration to fit properly over the implant’s abutment. Your restoration will be ready within a few weeks and can then be securely placed onto your implant posts during another visit to our office.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

Some of the primary advantages of using dental implants to replace missing teeth include the following:

• Longevity
• Strength and durability
• Natural appearance
• Maintenance of natural bone
• Restored function to the smile
