\"LearnWhen you\u2019re missing even just one tooth life becomes challenging. Properly chewing and eating the foods you once enjoyed becomes difficult. Smiling and talking in front of others may feel embarrassing. You may not even realize that your missing tooth is also affecting your oral health. The good news is that dental implants may be the solution you\u2019ve been looking for. Your trusted team at Peery Family Dentistry<\/a> is here to discuss the benefits of dental implants in Lynchburg and how to care for them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Missing Teeth and Oral Health<\/h3>\n

Believe it or not, a missing tooth actually has a great impact on your oral health, and it can quickly become a downward spiral for more tooth loss. This is because your bone begins to dissolve, or resorb, without a root to support. Your remaining teeth will also begin to shift into the open space left by your missing tooth, which causes bite misalignment and an increased risk for issues such as periodontal disease and fractures. It\u2019s important to replace your tooth in order to protect the integrity of your oral health.<\/p>\n

What is a Dental Implant?<\/h3>\n

A dental implant is a highly successful and reliable treatment that replaces both your root and your tooth. Your new root is a biocompatible titanium post that is surgically placed into your bone. Your new tooth is a high quality porcelain crown that is customized to match your existing teeth and naturally complement your smile.<\/p>\n

What are the Benefits of Dental Implants?<\/h3>\n

Implants are very successful because they closely mimic your natural tooth. Your implant will integrate with your bone creating a firm and stable foundation for your new tooth. It also helps to keep your bone healthy and stimulated.<\/p>\n

Because your implant crown is custom blended, no one will ever know you were missing tooth when you smile. With your new crown you\u2019ll enjoy all the function you had with your natural tooth, which means that you can chew, eat, brush, and floss as you were always used to doing. Implants offer great longevity; in fact with the right home care and regular dental checkups<\/a>, they can potentially last for decades.<\/p>\n

At Peery Family Dentistry, we\u2019re your implant dentists in 24501, and we\u2019re proud to offer comprehensive implant care, which means we\u2019ll be taking care of you from start to finish. Our doctors use a 3D CT scan, which allows them to determine the right placement for your implant and it also helps guide the surgery, which ensures accuracy and precision.<\/p>\n
