Losing front teeth can have a devastating impact on your smile. When replacing these teeth, it’s essential to choose wisely. Although a dental bridge would be a quicker restorative treatment, implants can complete your smile more naturally with positive lifelong results. At A & S Dental Wellness Center of Leominster in Leominster, Massachusetts, Dr. Yijia Li can replace your front teeth with implants successfully to restore the beauty of your smile.
Unlike a dental bridge that will need to be upgraded after some time, implants offer a permanent, lifelong solution to replacing front teeth. A dental bridge also requires support from adjacent teeth. In contrast, single implants can stand alone without impacting surrounding teeth. Additional benefits include:
Implant surgery requires that you have enough healthy bone where the implants are to be inserted to support your new teeth. As front teeth generally have less bone structure than back teeth, Dr. Li will take X-rays of your jaw and evaluate your situation to see if implants are a viable option for replacing your front teeth. If the jawbone is lacking, a bone graft may be needed to provide the bone support you need. We’ll also discuss lifestyle habits that can hinder the long-term success of your treatment so you can make changes accordingly.
