Dental Implants

Dental Implants in East Nashville

At East Nashville Family Dentistry we understand all of the ways a missing tooth can negatively affect someone. If you have a missing tooth, dental implants are one of the best options available for restoring your natural smile, improving your ability to chew, and enhancing your image. Although there are various options available with dental implants, most recreate the function and look of a natural tooth by installing a titanium mount in the jawbone and then placing a dental crown resembling a natural tooth on top of the post. Dental Implants provide a solution that is virtually indistinguishable from a natural tooth while also restoring your ability to chew naturally. For someone with a noticeable missing tooth, this procedure can truly be a life-changing experience. The dental professionals at East Nashville Family Dentistry are leading experts in the field of dental implants and are ready to answer your questions so that you can decide if dental implants are the best option for you. And then, we are ready to walk alongside you through the journey of replacing your missing tooth and restoring a healthier and happier version of you.

What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth

Current implants are a very effective way to replace missing teeth. According to studies, well maintained implants can survive for many years and contribute positively to your lifelong smile.

Restore the Appearance of Your Natural Smile

Virtually no one can tell the difference between natural teeth and dental implants. To ensure that your implant fits and looks fantastic, your dentist will work with you to match the color, size, and shape of the teeth that surround it.

Prevent Bone Loss in Your Jaw

Due to a lack of stimulation when a tooth is missing, the jaw bone in the empty gap frequently deteriorates over time. According to studies, the first year after a tooth is removed, as much as 25% or more of the bone volume may be lost, and this process continues over time.

Dentures frequently speed up bone loss as well because as they loosen up over time, the continual movement erodes the bone. Chewing and bone stimulation are resumed thanks to an implant's replacement for the tooth root, and organic bone growth is maintained.

Prevent Changes to the Shape of Your Face

The natural shape and structure of your face is supported by your teeth and the jawbone around them. When a tooth is lost, you also lose that support. If you continue to lose bone mass in the surrounding areas, the effect intensifies with time. Your face's natural contour, which frequently takes on the appearance of being slightly "sunken," will eventually be affected by this degradation.

By using an implant to replace the tooth and the root, you not only cover the area left by the missing tooth but also stimulate the bone by chewing normally. This aids the bone's natural growth and stops the alterations in your face.

Restore Your Natural Bite Force and Chewing Ability

Dental implants restore the tooth's normal bite force and chewing function since they are fixed into the jaw with a metal stud, usually made of titanium. This is a service that dentures and dental bridges, among other tooth replacement options, cannot offer.

Implants Can Improve Your Speech

Our teeth play a big role in how well we speak. When a tooth is lost, it can be difficult to enunciate some consonants. Even dentures can influence how we speak normally. By using a dental implant to replace a tooth, we can also bring back the lost ability to speak normally.

Restore and Improve Your Self-Image and Confidence

After they obtain a dental implant, many of our patients experience a renewed, if not improved, sense of confidence in themselves. A dental implant might be an investment in yourself that will pay off for the rest of your life if you've found yourself frowning or trying to avoid conversations.

You can feel more like yourself and have better mental health if you grin with renewed confidence. The considerable advantages to your self-esteem, confidence, and emotional wellness should unquestionably be taken into account as well, even though there are many health-related reasons to obtain an implant.

Implants Are More Cost Effective Than Other Tooth Replacement Options

Compared to dentures or bridges, implants can be more expensive up front, but they last far longer. Implants are regarded as a permanent fix and have a long lifespan. This indicates that they frequently result in long-term cost savings for you.
