If you’re scheduled for a tooth extraction or are already missing one or a couple of your real teeth, you might be weighing your tooth replacement options. One of the tooth restoration options to consider is dental implants. They are the most popular and sought after option due to the unparalleled benefits they offer when it comes to comfort, aesthetics, and functionality. Here at Heritage Dental Associates in Fayetteville, GA, Dr. Jeff Kendrick frequently uses dental implants to restore lost teeth.
How Can I Benefit From Dental Implants?
When Should I Get Implants?
The longer you delay to replace a missing tooth, the faster the bone and gums below where your tooth was will deteriorate. Left unaddressed for a long time, you may have to undergo periodontal surgery or a bone graft surgery before having implants installed.
If you still need to heal from another dental treatment or tooth extraction, you’ll have to wait until you’re fully healed to have the implants installed but if the gum tissue and bone in the site where the implant will be placed are generally healthy, then the procedure can be performed.
