Losing a tooth affects a lot more than just your smile. While your confidence can take a hit, a missing tooth also causes some practical problems. It greatly impacts how you chew your food, affecting your nutrition and overall health. And depending on where you have a tooth missing, it can also affect how you pronounce your words.
That’s why, if you’re living with tooth loss, Dr. Shirin Hamed recommends dental implant restoration at Creekside Center for Comprehensive Dentistry. With implants, you can blend cosmetic dental procedures with restorative needs and everyday strength so you can confidently move forward.
Dental implants are made with materials like titanium or zirconia, both of which naturally bond with your jawbone. This process, called osseointegration, helps the implant become part of your body. After a few months of healing, the result is a strong and stable base that can last decades.
And these materials don’t decay. With the right care, many people never need to replace their implant. That’s right: You’ll have a tooth replacement that can last a lifetime.
It’s nearly impossible to distinguish between a dental implant and your natural tooth. That’s because each implant is topped with a custom-made porcelain crown that blends right in with your smile. Some people claim no one can tell which tooth they had restored.
However, implants function just like natural teeth. No adjustment period. No adhesives or suction. Just going on with your life.
Dental implants work for more than just single-tooth replacement. They can support a dental bridge and even help anchor full dentures. This is a big relief for people who don’t have healthy teeth next to the gap. Implants also pair well with cosmetic work for a more complete smile.
Even though implants restore just one missing tooth (unless you need more), your overall oral health improves. Here’s why:
Dental implants are fixed firmly in place, meaning they work like natural teeth. Chewing feels natural again. And so does talking. Best of all, there’s no slipping or awkward movement like some people complain about with dentures. Dr. Hamed’s patients tell her they’re finally able to enjoy meals without worrying about their teeth.
Dental implants are one of the most predictable treatment successes in dentistry. Studies show they succeed more than 95% of the time. Dr. Hamed and Dr. Reza Moezi are experienced in placing and restoring implants, which makes the process straightforward and low-stress. With good planning, most people heal without problems.
