Occasionally, a high school student experiences an accident or injury from sports and loses a tooth. Of course, the best option is to retrieve the tooth, push it back into the empty socket, and visit our emergency dental clinic. But sometimes the broken tooth can get lost in the shuffle.
Thank goodness, Dr. Louis R. Garcia can place a dental implant so the virgin teeth on each side don’t have to be ground down for a three-unit bridge.
Every now and then, Dominion Ridge Dentistry has an appointment with a patient whose permanent smile came in without their eye teeth. Lack of canine teeth can cause a huge confidence strain.
Ignoring the situation can cause a mismatched bite and the potential for a life of headaches and nighttime bruxism (grinding teeth). At Dominion Ridge Dentistry, we can open up the spaces even further and then place dental implants. The resulting smile is not only gorgeous, but the teeth mesh comfortably and the occlusion (bite) is balanced.
Seniors, or often middle-aged adults, with dentures often find it hard to maintain good nutrition because they cannot chew many healthy foods. If loose dentures or partials keep you from eating the foods you want, then implants may be the solution. By installing implants that solidly secure the dentures, patients feel like they have all their natural teeth once more. With dental implants, patients find it easy to smile, laugh and eat without fearing that their dentures may slide or make noises or that their bridge will trap food.
