If you\u2019re missing teeth, it can be difficult \u2013 if not impossible \u2013 to eat the foods you love. While there are a few options for replacing your teeth, the most effective method is dental implantation. As you continue reading, a dentist in North Dallas explains how dental implants can make this a summer to remember, and why now is the time for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bearcreekfamilydentistry.com\/spring-valley-dallas-dentist.html\">visit<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Made from the highest-grade titanium, dental implants are cylinder-shaped posts that are surgically inserted into the jawbone. They are the only form of tooth replacement that works beneath the gum line, which provides a level of security and stability that is unmatched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the typical steps of the dental implant process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Initial implant placement<\/strong> \u2013 Once the implants are in place, you\u2019ll need a few months to heal and for the posts to fuse with the existing bone (referred to as osseointegration).<\/li><li><strong>Addition of the abutments<\/strong> \u2013 Titanium abutments are attached to the implants and serve as anchors.<\/li><li><strong>Placement of the final restoration<\/strong> \u2013 A custom restoration (crown, implant-retained bridge or denture) is securely affixed to the abutments to leave a fully restored and functional smile.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Increased Food Options with Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With implants, you won\u2019t have to worry about any slipping, sliding or shifting, which often happens with dentures and bridges. Once an implant has fused with the jawbone, you can look forward to regaining up to 75% of your original chewing capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, you\u2019ll be able to eat corn on the cob, steak, watermelon and many other summer foods. However, it\u2019s still best to ere on the side of caution and avoid biting down with extreme force and carefully chew your food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, it\u2019s a good idea to avoid harder items like certain nuts, ice and popcorn kernels, as they could possibly cause an implant to unseat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Implants for a Smile That Will Last<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With proper care, a set of dental implants can last 30 years to a lifetime. One way to extend their longevity is to practice excellent dental hygiene, which should include brushing and flossing at least two times a day. If you\u2019re looking to make this a happy and enjoyable summer, reach out to a local implant dentist today to request a visit. By taking action, you can get on the path to a complete, attractive and functional smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The professionals at Bear Creek Family Dentistry provide an array of services to meet the needs of patients of all ages.
