If you are missing teeth, Dr. Finocchiaro can replace them with a permanent alternative to traditional dentures that looks and feels like natural teeth. Not only do Dental Implants improve your chewing and speaking, but they are also customized to fit comfortably in your mouth without the common problems caused often caused by dentures.

Best of all, dental implants are permanent fixtures of your mouth, without the need for regular maintenance other than your normal dental check ups.

Dental implants are a durable and strong restorative dental option, and one of the most successful functional and cosmetic dentistry procedures you will find.

What are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a titanium “root” that is surgically placed into the jaw beneath your gum at the site of a missing tooth. After placement, the implant will integrate with the bone of your jaw and act as artificial tooth roots. Once the dental implant is fully integrated and stable, a crown is fabricated to attach to the implant. Dental implants provide a look and feel that’s very close to natural teeth.

Depending on the strength of the bone a crown can sometimes be placed immediately or we may have to wait several months before proceeding with a crown in order to ensure the implant is ready to support a new crown. Scottsdale dentist Dr Finocchiaro may provide you with a temporary appliance to wear during this process.

Because the dental implant fuses to the bone in your jaw, the new tooth is stable and it won’t shift in your mouth like a denture or removable bridge. Since the implant is fastened securely to the bone, your new crown is indistinguishable from your natural teeth and in almost every case, functions like your own teeth.

What are the Common Causes of Tooth Loss

Some of the more common dental problems and conditions that can cause tooth loss are:

• Tooth decay
• Periodontal (Gum) Disease
• Trauma to the mouth, teeth, and/or gums
• Failure of a root canal
• Congenital defects
• Wear and tear

Besides the fact that tooth loss can cause chewing and speech problems it can also make you very self-conscious about the way you look. Dental implants are a permanent solution to helping you live better and feel better about yourself.
