Are you missing teeth because of an accident or damage to the roots of the teeth or gum line? If so, you might think that getting a healthy and natural smile back is impossible. However, there is a secret that dentists in Toronto have known for years to deal with the missing teeth of famous hockey players — dental implants.
Dental implants are small prosthetics that are attached to the bone of the upper or lower jaw. They provide the foundation for a repaired smile by creating anchor points for prosthetic teeth along with replacements for damaged or missing root portions of teeth. Like porcelain veneers, dental implants are designed to be long-term fixes instead of temporary solutions — this is a permanent way to regain lost teeth and add confidence to a person’s smile.
If you are missing teeth and are interested in doing something about it, contact a cosmetic dentist for a consultation and see if dental implants are the right choice for you.
