Replace Missing Teeth, With Dental Implants!
Dr. Maddux Explains Why The Treatment of Choice For Teeth Replacement is a Dental Implant
Dental implants are titanium posts, which are surgically placed into the jaw- bone. They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved.
Dental care has improved enormously over the past few decades, however, many Americans have lost teeth due to gum disease, tooth decay, or injury to tooth. Only until recently, tooth replacement options were limited to dentures or dental bridges, neither of which offers a perfect solution. Fortunately, with today’s technology, it is possible to have dental implants immediately.
Dr. Brett Maddux is a trained periodontist specializing in dental implants in Birmingham, AL. Teeth-in-a-Day, or Immediate Load Dental Implants, are the newest innovation in dental implant technology. In most dental implant cases, patients are required to have multiple office visits and must wait months before having a permanent implant placed. With immediate load implants, patients can walk in and out of the doctors office with a full set of teeth!
The technology is so good it is even possible to replace entire arches of teeth, so there is no need to put up with unstable and uncomfortable dentures, and it is sometimes possible to place a dental implant at the same time the tooth extracted.
