What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are made to look just like your teeth. The color and appearance of your tooth is matched exactly with the implant so it blends right in naturally. Once the dentist extracts your tooth you may have to wear a temporary flipper while your implant is being created. This is usually the most annoying part of the whole process. After your tooth has been created then a metal rod is surgically inserted into your gum. You will be put under anesthesia for this so don’t worry. The rod is then allowed to have time to heal. You will still be wearing the flipper during this time to allow the gums to heal around the rod.
Once the healing process is done the implant is screwed in and filed down if needed and you’re left with a great looking new tooth in place of the one that just wasn’t working. Regular dentists will do this if it is necessary for functioning reasons. If your need for an implant is purely cosmetic, then you will need to see a cosmetic dentist. Either way you’ll be a lot happier with your smile. If you are looking for a dentist and need a place to start visit www.qqdental.com.
