Want to Love Your Smile Again? Replace Missing Teeth with Implants

Do you love your smile? Or has it lost its charm due to missing teeth? Tooth loss can rob your smile of its functionality and appeal. Implants can resolve tooth loss and make you love your smile again! A visit to Drs. Kevin Kellerman, Jessica Wen, Jesse Snyder, and Ashton Stewart from Kellerman Dental in Glen Carbon, Illinois, can determine whether or not you are a suitable candidate for implants.

How Implants Work to Enhance Your Smile

Tooth loss is a big deal, as the fallout can be felt in every aspect of your life. Dental implants are the best way to counter the ill effects of tooth loss. Implants replace your entire tooth structure—from the tip of the crown to the roots—to reconstruct your smile naturally. The implant procedure is fairly straightforward: implant screws are fitted into your jaw painlessly to support your new tooth or teeth. Over time, the implants will integrate with your bone system to become your new tooth roots. After they’re fully healed, an abutment (connector) and customized crown, bridge, or denture are added to fill the gaps in your smile and make it whole again. Your new smile is then ready to make its debut!

Here are some great reasons to choose implants as your restorative treatment:

1. Realistic Appearance: Implants mimic the key features of natural teeth to give your smile a realistic appearance. Your new teeth will be custom-designed for comfort and aesthetic appeal. A porcelain crown or bridge will complement your natural teeth beautifully and fit right in with your smile. To replace all of your teeth, Drs. Kellerman, Wen, and Snyder will create dentures that conform to the contours of your gums and jaw to give you a natural and appealing smile. 
2. Functionality: In like manner, your replacement teeth will function just like real teeth because they’re supported by implant tooth roots. You never have to worry about your teeth coming loose or falling out when you talk, laugh, or chew. Implants will give you the chewing power to enjoy all your favorite foods and even experiment with new ones!
3. Jaw Health: When you lose natural teeth, your jawbone begins to deteriorate because the tooth roots are no longer there to stimulate bone growth. Without proper support, your face and jaw can start to sag. By fusing with your bone system, implants strengthen and support your jaw. They also stimulate your jawbone, like real tooth roots, which helps prevent bone loss. 
4. Versatility and Longevity: With implants, you can replace one tooth, multiple teeth, an upper or lower arch, or all of your teeth using dental crowns, implant dentures, or an implant bridge. Regardless of the restoration you choose, your smile will be built on a firm foundation that’s strong, secure, and stable. With adequate care, implants can provide a lifetime of quality use.
