Permanent tooth loss is common. In fact, about 20% of Americans ages 75 and older have lost all their permanent teeth. If you have one or more missing teeth, consider upgrading your smile with dental implants at Knight Dental Family Dentistry in Decatur, Georgia.
Tasha M. Knight, DDS, uses dental implants to fill in the gaps and refine your smile, eliminating the need for removable dentures and minimizing clicking sounds when chewing.
Dental implants are artificial metal tooth roots that replace your natural teeth. Dental providers insert more than 3 million dental implants yearly in the United States.
The implants are inserted into your jawbone and act as anchors for artificial replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or fixed dentures. Dental implants work wonders to eliminate smile gaps caused by missing or extracted permanent teeth and enhance your overall oral health.
Some of the numerous reasons to choose dental implants at Knight Dental Family Dentistry to perfect a pearly white smile include:
Dental implants are durable and can last a lifetime when properly cared for. They’re often a permanent solution to missing permanent teeth and a popular restorative dental procedure. Knight Dental Family Dentistry uses the latest advances in procedures and technologies to create a long-lasting, beautiful smile.
Dental implants are the closest thing to having your natural teeth back, as they function and look just like real teeth. Dr. Knight matches your new tooth color to the shade of your natural adjacent teeth or replaces all of your original teeth with flattering artificial replacements.
Dental implants support a strong jawbone, helping to preserve it, optimize bone density, and reduce the risk of age-related bone loss.
Chewing becomes much easier when replacing missing teeth, loose or damaged teeth, or removable dentures with permanent dental implants. You’ll be able to eat the foods you love without worrying about difficulty chewing or pain.
Your new artificial teeth, anchored by dental implants, are the ideal size, shape, and color, tailored to your preferences. They look just like natural teeth, allowing you to achieve the gorgeous smile of your dreams.
Missing teeth often hinder the ability to speak clearly, but dental implants fill in the gaps to restore optimal speech and enunciation.
Unlike traditional bridges, dental implants don’t require your dentist to remove the enamel of surrounding natural teeth, which can weaken their structure. This allows you to preserve any adjacent natural teeth when adding dental implants to fill in tooth gaps.
To be considered for dental implants at Knight Dental Family Dentistry, you must have a strong enough jawbone or be willing to undergo jawbone grafting before dental implant placement. Dental implants require a space in your mouth that has been caused by tooth loss or the extraction of permanent teeth. Extraction can remove decaying or badly damaged natural teeth.
