Lost or missing teeth can diminish the appearance of your smile as well as affect your ability to speak clearly and properly chew food. Moudy Dental can help you restore the full smile that you once had with implant restorations. Depending on the number of missing teeth you have, different treatments or procedures can help you get your teeth back into full function.
A dental implant is a small, biocompatible post that is placed directly into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure. It behaves in much the same way as the root of a natural tooth. As the most advanced method of tooth replacement modern dentistry offers, a dental implant comes the closest to replicating the look, feel and function of a natural smile. Dental implants may be used to support either a single dental crown or multiple ones, as your smile requires.
Implant crowns are similar to traditional crowns except they are either screwed into or cemented directly to an implant abutment at the top of the implant. This treatment is the most effective procedure to restore missing teeth without using a traditional partial denture, which can affect your speech and the chewing and eating of food.
Implant supported partial and full dentures are also the best option for restoring your smile to a complete arch of teeth. Dr. Moudy and team will take impressions of the upper and/or lower arch of gums that are being restored. After the implant sites are fully healed, the implant supported denture will be fastened to the implants to secure the denture permanently to your gums.
Moudy Dental also offers removable implant supported dentures that are fitted to snap in and out of the implants that were placed in your mouth to support the denture.
It is very important to schedule regular recare appointments with all of the implant support dentures that Moudy Dental provides. We will professionally clean your dentures for you and do any necessary maintenance for your dentures, if needed. It is also important for Dr. Moudy to do an oral evaluation and cancer screening at your recare appointment to maintain optimal oral health.
