Dental implants offer a better option for replacing lost teeth in West Haven or Milford CT

Replacing lost teeth means your dentist will have to use dentures to make eating and talking easier for you and to restore your smile. This was the traditional solution. But because of the problems that have been associated with dentures such as slipping and reduced chewing power, a better option has to be found in the form of permanent dentures – dental implants.

How an implant dentist can help
An implant dentist specializes in replacing missing teeth. If you have old dentures, partials and bridges that need to be replaced, it is time to consider dental implants. Dental implants are the closest things to having your real teeth back. A dental bridge for one or multiple missing teeth would normally need to be attached to the surrounding teeth, but it would not be as strong as a dental implant, which is anchored to your jawbone.

Even if you do not have any teeth left, an implant dentist can place a series of titanium dental implants into your jawbone where permanent prosthetic teeth will be attached. This means you will be able to chew gum and chew so many kinds of foods that you used to enjoy, and no more worrying about removing your dentures every night before going to bed.
