$300 Whitening for a Cause
Hello Reno visitors, welcome to The Reno Dentist. Let’s talk about a tooth replacement option common in Sparks: dental bridges.
While dental bridges have restored smiles for hundreds of Sparks dental patients, they are not problem-free. Many Nevada people with dental bridges find it impossible to keep the small areas around the bridge clean. This is not surprising because it is hard to get toothbrush bristles or dental floss under the bridge.
Of course, detrimental bacteria have no trouble moving in and taking over without the Reno dental patient even knowing it. When the decay reaches the roots of the surrounding teeth, it is not only painful, but the person is also at risk of losing those teeth too.
That is one reason why a dental implant is superior to a dental bridge. Most Sparks people with missing teeth are great candidates for dental implants.
A dental implant looks just like the beautiful tooth restoration on a high-quality dental bridge, but the important part is what you don’t see.
A dental implant is screwed directly into the jaw bone. It is not attached to teeth like the dental bridges traditionally used in Sparks. In a way, a dental implant is a more conservative tooth replacement because it leaves the adjacent teeth intact. The bone and gum tissue mesh permanently with the titanium post that serves as the replacement tooth root.
Dental implants do not have the same decay risk as the teeth that anchor dental bridges. Of course, patients with dental implants need to brush and floss, but cleaning a dental implant is usually no more difficult than cleaning a normal tooth.
Dental implants have a far better track record in Nevada than dental bridges. With proper care, a dental implant can last a lifetime for smile-smart Sparks dental patients.
At The Reno Dentist, dental implants can replace one or more teeth, providing stability, beauty, and natural function. Moreover, they can also serve as anchors for full or partial dentures. No more embarrassing slipping!
