No one wants to deal with toothaches, sore jaws, or any oral pain like that. But many people think they have to deal with the pain. Maybe you think it will go away on its own (it won’t) or that it’s not a big deal (it is). That might have made sense decades ago, when dentistry was still using now-obsolete technology. Today’s dentistry is much different, and with all the state-of-the-art tools and holistic dental approach at Hillcrest Family Dentistry, there’s no need to suffer anymore. Whether you have a dental emergency or need a tooth removed and replaced, we can help end the pain and give you back a reason to smile.
Having A Dental Emergency?
If you had an accident,…show more content… In fact, implants can be used to make sure your dentures stay in place in two ways. Implant-supported dentures use an implanted bar to anchor your dentures in place. Implant-retained dentures are very similar, but they use a ball attachments instead of a bar to secure those dentures. Either way, implants canthey keep your dentures from moving and allow you to keep eating the foods you love.
Can Anyone Get A Dental Implant?
Most people can get dental implants with no problems. That said, you need to have enough bone in your jaw to allow the artificial root to take hold. If you don’t, mini dental implants can usually solve that problem. You also need to have good dental health overall. For example, if you have gum disease, we would need to work on eliminating that before we could implant the artificial root. And since the jawbone of young people is still growing, implants generally work best with adults. But there are oral surgery options to add bone to the area, such as bone grafts or ridge augmentations.
A missing tooth is embarrassing, unhealthy, and, thanks to modern dentistry, nothing you need to endure. Hillcrest Family Dentistry can use dental implants to solve this problem for good. Call us today at 541-930-8036 or use our convenient online form to schedule your next
