Placing A Sturdy Dental Prosthetic

If you have recently lost one of your teeth, you may be exploring your options for renewing your bite. To preserve your jawbone mass, talk to your dentist about the possibility of receiving a dental implant treatment. With this service, we could place a titanium post directly through the socket into your bone to support a lifelike replacement tooth above your gumline. As you heal from the procedure, your oral tissues grow around the post to hold it steadily in your mouth for years to come.

At your Brighton, MA dental practice, we are well-versed in the versatile benefits of prosthodontic replacement teeth. Because dental loss causes more harm than its cosmetic effect on your smile, replacing your tooth is vital to protecting your oral health. Depending upon the number of teeth you are missing, we could discuss prosthetic replacements for a single tooth all the way up to an entire implant-supported denture. Let us know what you are looking for so we may custom-design a treatment today!
