If your smile is incomplete due to missing teeth, you may feel nervous to smile in front of others. Luckily, dental implants are a great tooth replacement option that can complete your smile and help you regain any confidence that you’ve lost. Dr. Mona El-Sheikh at Wakefield Family Dental Center in Wakefield, MA, is here to help you discover if dental implants are the right option to fill in any gaps in your smile.

How Dental Implants Can Benefit You

Dental implants are a long-lasting and functional tooth replacement option that can not only complete your smile but can also strengthen your smile. Dental implants from your dentist in Wakefield, MA, consist of a titanium post that is fused into your gum and jawbone and then topped off with a dental crown. The dental crown can be color-matched to the rest of your smile and is designed to blend in with the rest of your teeth. No one besides you or your dentist will ever know that you had a missing tooth, to begin with.

Dental implants are also beneficial to your smile because they help support your jawbone and keep your jawbone from disintegrating. When you lose a tooth, your gums no longer have stimulation being provided by the roots of your tooth and can cause your jawbone to slowly fall away and cause facial sagging in the future. When you replace the missing root with a dental implant, you no longer have to worry about losing any of your jawbones because the stimulation is once again being provided and can prevent any facial sagging from happening due to a missing tooth.
