Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants

If you have teeth missing from your smile, you may find it difficult to be confident.  Many people consider a smile a first impression, and when you are not one hundred percent secure, you may find it difficult to make the impression you want to make. Dentures and partials are one way to handle the situation, but you may want something more permanent to help with your smile. Luckily, at Florida Smiles Dental, Dr. Carlos Yamil Maiz is able to restore your smile with the help of dental implants!
The process of getting your dental implants begins with a consultation with Dr. Maiz. There, he will be able to fully assess your smile in its current state, as well as ask you about your long term goals regarding your smile. You will also have that opportunity to bring up any questions or concerns you may have, as we want you to be as informed as possible throughout the entire process.
Dental implanting involves embedding a titanium screw into the jaw bone. This screw will act as a new tooth root, and will fuse with your natural bone over time. After a sufficient amount of healing as passed, the abutment is added, which is essentially a support system for the screw and the crown. The tooth-resembling crown is placed on top, completing your new look! At the end of the procedure, you are left with nothing but a beautiful, perfect smile!
Dental implants can be beneficial, as they have the opportunity to give you back the confidence you may have lost feeling insecure about your smile. Also, dental implants can save the rest of your mouth from havoc, as teeth will begin to shift to make up for the empty space, resulting in a much more complicated procedure. Dental implants are a wonderful way to regain self-esteem, security, and a healthy smile!
