The most effective restorative solution for missing teeth today is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilebydesignva.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a>. With <b>dental implants<\/b>, your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilebydesignva.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">Virginia Beach restorative dentist<\/a> can replace anything from a single tooth to a full row of teeth. But what really makes <b>dental implants<\/b> effective isn\u2019t just how many teeth they can replace; it\u2019s the implant posts underneath that secure them to the jaw.<\/p>\n<p><b>Dental implants<\/b> are designed to mimic the structure of natural teeth with implant posts made of titanium, a biocompatible metal that will fuse with the jaw the way a natural tooth root would. Why is replacing missing teeth important? Because having one or more missing teeth can dramatically change your how your smile looks and functions.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what you can expect from the <b>dental implant<\/b> process. First, your <b>Virginia Beach dentist<\/b> will complete a thorough oral exam to see if you\u2019re candidate for the procedure. Because of the bone loss that comes with missing teeth, not everyone is a candidate. If you are, your <b>Virginia Beach dentist<\/b> will then create a personalized treatment plan based around how many teeth you need to replace.<\/p>\n<p>From there, the implant process takes two stages to complete. In the first, one or more <b>dental implants<\/b> will be placed in the jaw. How many you end up with will depend on how many teeth you\u2019re replacing. Then, after a healing period, your new crown, bridge, partial, or full denture will be attached.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to learn more about the benefits of <b>dental implants<\/b>?<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilebydesignva.com\/contact-us.html\"> Call<\/a> the <b>Virginia Beach<\/b> dental team of <b>Dr. Stephanie Santos<\/b> and <b>Dr. Vinita Folck<\/b>.
