Replacing A Missing Tooth With An Implant

San Diego, CA, Dental Implant

If you are dealing with tooth loss, you may suffer from a gum infection. By getting this disease under control, you can enjoy a prosthetic implant that restores your full smile. While gum disease is the leading cause of missing teeth among adults today, restoring your smile can slow the progression of the disease by restoring the alignment of your bite. When your teeth align in harmony, you slow the wear and tear that comes from the disproportionate application of your bite’s force. An implant tooth helps preserve your youthful appearance by stimulating the jawbone, preserving the existing structure of your face.

At your Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontal practice, we help our patients restore their smiles after dealing with the effects of gum disease. Because this condition breaks down the stability of teeth, many gum disease patients lose teeth as they combat their infections. After placing you on a periodontal maintenance schedule, we can explore prosthodontic options for restoring your smile. Committing to your daily oral hygiene can ensure you enjoy the use of your implant tooth for a lifetime.
