If you have lost a tooth (or multiple teeth) there are several dental options available to replace what has been lost. Options could include dentures, implants, or a dental bridge. Each of these options have their pros and cons, but let’s look at why Dr. Dean Dietrich and his team at Pleasant Dental® in Dolton, IL view dental implants as a great choice for anybody seeking to replace a missing tooth or teeth.
A dental implant consists of 3 main components. First is the implant itself, which is a tiny post (usually made of titanium) that is surgically imbedded into the jawbone. This implant serves as a mount to which an abutment is placed. An artificial tooth can then be secured to the abutment for a look that appears completely natural to anybody who sees it. At Pleasant Dental® , Dr. Dietrich refers this minor surgical work out to a trusted surgeon, so they can use their surgical expertise when placing the implant.
Let us look at why so many dentists are preferring dental implants over other options for replacing missing teeth.
