Missing teeth leave gaps in your smile that can cause you to feel self-conscious about your interactions with other people. You may also find it difficult to chew, eat, and enjoy your food easily.
The good news is that dental implants in Winston-Salem can restore your smile and confidence, and Dr. Jeffrey Tibbs can help!
What Are Dental Implants?
Tooth implants lead the industry in tooth replacement because they replace both the root and tooth, making them the closest you can get to restoring your natural tooth.
The process works like this:
- A trusted dentist or specialist surgically places the titanium implant into your jawbone.
- Because titanium is biocompatible, your implant will slowly integrate with your bone and become part of your dental anatomy over three to six months.
- Once your implant is fully healed and fused with your bone, Dr. Tibbs will create a customized restoration consisting of a porcelain crown for a single tooth or a bridge or denture for multiple teeth.
While completing an implant does take some time, our patients find that implant dentistry's benefits far outweigh any disadvantages.
