Dr. Don S Moore - Are You Considering Dental Implants?

Tooth loss can cause several complications over time. Dr. Don S Moore, offers his patients dental implants and is always willing to educate them on the benefits of dental implants. He is able to perform the short surgical procedure in office with a mild sedative. He wants all of his patients to have teeth that are healthy, beautiful, and strong.

Tooth loss is a common issue. It can result from trauma, poor oral hygiene, irregular dentist visits, diabetes, or poor nutrition. It does not matter what age a person is, tooth loss can happen to anyone. It is important to replace a lost tooth in order to prevent other losses. When an adult tooth falls out, the surrounding bone resorbs.

The teeth that are adjacent could be displaced into the empty space, which could then lead to gum issues, and eventually more lost teeth. A popular tooth replacement procedure is a dental implant. This is a simple surgical procedure that involves placing a permanent fake tooth in the empty space.

Dental implants are placed into your jaw and hold an artificial tooth or bridge. They are not removable and are meant to last the patient’s lifetime. This option is ideal for people who lost a tooth due to periodontal disease or an injury. It is especially ideal for people who only need to replace a single tooth. Dental implants are similar to dentures, the main difference being that they are not removable. Dr. Don S Moore always recommends dental implants to his patients who have lost a tooth.
