Dental technology can correct any oral defect. Unlike in the past, a whole set of missing teeth was permanent. People with tooth loss never had another chance to enjoy having a healthy set of teeth permanently placed in the mouth. It was either removable dentures or living without. There are dental implants in Manassas that replace anything from one missing tooth, to a mouth void of a single tooth. One or two teeth can be replaced with a crown supported by a dental implant. Crown supported dental implants in Manassas are placed under the gums as a tooth root support. The root of a missing tooth gets more exposure to bacteria and other environmental perils. An implant protects a tooth root from losing more bone. It also stops adjacent teeth from moving over into the space empty space.
When a group of teeth are missing, an implant bridge can provide a supporting structure for those teeth to be replaced. People with undamaged natural teeth encompassing a small space where teeth are missing are good candidates for an implant bridge. The posts that create a bridge are fixed to the inner gum line for crowns to be mounted onto the stretch of space. Bridges can be held in with screws or permanently cleaved to the tooth roots. Implant partials are similar appliances that replace a group of missing teeth. A resin base attached to crowns are mounted on implants positioned under the gums through surgery.
Implant supported dentures relieve a person from the disadvantages that come with detachable dentures. They provide better support for missing teeth across an entire arch. Dental patients who already use standard dentures get extra support with implants administered individually by surgery. The dentist makes sure the dentures blend in well with the natural teeth it’s sharing space with. The denture snaps in place for a secure fitting. High-tech imaging equipment gives dentists a clear view of the internal structures in the mouth. A three dimensional imaging machine called iCat shows the framework of the jawbone and supporting features of the entire mouth in detail. Dentists can view minute details of the teeth, its roots and separate bones of the jaw to assess the parts individually. This is a ground-breaking diagnostic tool that can find hidden oral problems.
