Rebuilding Smiles with Dental Implants
Dragon Dental provides dental implants to replace missing teeth and restore function and beauty. Dental implants are long-lasting, resistant to wear and tear and provide a strong foundation for dental restorations. With this advanced treatment, it is possible for patients who have lost one or many teeth to have a full smile. Dr. Richard J Dragon is experienced in dental implants and supplying custom dental restorations to patients in Gardnerville.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants have unique qualities which allow for a true transformation in how your smile looks and feels. Once placed in the jaw, implants fuse with the bone and become similar in strength to a natural tooth root. This process also stimulates jaw bone stability and ensures existing teeth remain in their right place. Bite, speech, and chewing issues can be resolved with dental implants. These prosthetics fully restore oral health and greatly improve self-confidence.
The Dental Implant Placement Process
Tooth extractions, trauma, or decay can leave an individual with one or multiple missing teeth. Dental implants are designed to replace teeth that cannot be saved through restorative methods. During your initial appointment, we thoroughly examine your smile to ensure dental implants are the right treatment for you.
Dr. Richard J Dragon pays close attention to jaw bone density and overall oral health, two important factors in dental implant placement and restoration. In some cases, patients may need preparatory procedures to ensure the best chance at success. X-rays and impressions of teeth are taken, which help our doctor and team plan the procedure.
After your first exam, our dentist creates a personalized treatment plan for optimal placement. This plan details how many implants are required and where they will be placed. After placement, patients need healing time to allow implants to fuse to the bone. Custom-made final restorations are then fixed to the implants with an abutment.
Restoring Smiles with Dental Implants
Implant restorations are designed to appear similar to natural teeth and retain comparable strength. Dental implants can be adapted to support single and multiple tooth restorations. Implant-supported crowns, bridges, and dentures are customized to provide the best tooth shape and size for optimal form and function.
