Otherwise, not so much. With one or more missing teeth, not only is your smile incomplete\u2014and consequently your self-confidence, too\u2014but your diet may be incomplete because you are inadequately able to chew and you may even have difficulty speaking. Nowadays, one of the best options for tooth replacement is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drlmetzger.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a>. With dental implants, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drlmetzger.com\/meet-the-doctor.html\">Dr. Leslie M. Metzger<\/a> at Monet Aesthetic Dentistry has completed the smiles of many people in and around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drlmetzger.com\/contact-us.html\">Farmington, MI<\/a>, and she can do the same for you.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>The Advantages of Dental Implants<\/h2>\n<p>A <strong>dental implant<\/strong> is a small titanium post that is inserted in to your jaw bone to anchor a replacement tooth. The advantage that <strong>dental implants<\/strong> have over other types of tooth replacements is that an implants substitutes for both the crown and root of a tooth. This way, you not only have the most natural-looking tooth replacement, you also have a stable foundation. Moreover, your new tooth \u201croot\u201d helps you avoid the bone deterioration that can occur when a root is missing.<\/p>\n<h2>Dental Implant Procedure<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Dental implants<\/strong> can replace one or more teeth or they can be strategically placed along your arch to secure a prosthetic, such as a bridge. If you and Dr. Metzger determine that <strong>implants<\/strong> are the right choice for your smile, an oral surgeon will insert the posts into your jawbone. As you heal from surgery, the post and surrounding bone tissue will fuse, thereby imitating the natural relationship between root and bone. In a few months, you\u2019ll return to Monet Aesthetic Dentistry for Dr. Metzger to attach a custom-fitted crown.<\/p>\n<h2>Call Our Office Today<\/h2>\n<p>If you would like to learn how <strong>dental implants<\/strong> can fill-in your smile, then schedule a consultation with Dr. Metzger in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drlmetzger.com\/contact-us.html\">Farmington, MI<\/a>.
