Tooth loss can cause more trouble than you think. Even one lost tooth can make your smile incomplete. An incomplete smile can affect how you look, eat, and speak and can eventually cause oral health issues. These problems can be averted through dental implant treatment. Implants can resolve all manner of tooth loss issues, ranging from one lost tooth to full mouth restoration. At the office of John E. Russo, DMD, we offer implant treatment to our patients in Orlando, Florida, and nearby cities.
Understanding the implant procedure is essential to fully benefiting from implant treatment. Dr. Russo and our team will evaluate your oral health to see if you’re a good candidate for this treatment. The best implant candidates are non-smokers with good oral health and sufficient bone density to support implants.
If you meet these qualifications, Dr. Russo can schedule you for surgery. Implants are titanium screws that are inserted into a person’s jawbone surgically to fuse with the bone system and function like tooth roots. This process can take months to complete. Once the implant is firmly in place, we’ll attach an abutment and, lastly, your crown, bridge, or dentures to complete your procedure. Your newly restored smile will then have the look, feel, and function of natural teeth.
Ideally, your teeth were meant to last a lifetime. In the event of tooth loss, however, implants offer the next best thing as they replace your lost tooth and its roots.
