It doesn\u2019t matter whether you\u2019ve lost a tooth due to decay, trauma or overcrowding, it\u2019s important to visit your dentist immediately. Because teeth support each other, it only takes one missing tooth to cause the surrounding teeth to shift. When this happens, chewing often becomes difficult and speech patterns can become impaired.<\/p>\n<p>Widely considered to be the most durable and functional tooth replacement option available, dental implants are becoming the go-to procedure to fill the space left by a missing tooth. That\u2019s because the long-term consequences of tooth loss can be serious. Large voids between teeth eventually become difficult to clean, which is why tooth decay and periodontal, or gum, a disease often follows tooth loss. While some turn to temporary solutions\u2014such as dental bridges or removable dentures\u2014patients who want a permanent solution look to dental implants.<\/p>\n<p>Receiving a dental implant is a surgical procedure\u2014an artificial tooth root is implanted into the jawbone, which provides a permanent base for fixed crown. After the artificial root is placed in the jawbone, the two bond to one another through a process known as osseointegration. This usually takes between two to six months, during which time you\u2019ll be fitted with a temporary crown so you can maintain normal daily activities. Once the implant is secure in the jawbone, a permanent crown will be cemented in place.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":743,"template":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Dental Implants - toothcenter.net<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/toothcenter.net\/website_library\/dental-implants\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Dental Implants - toothcenter.net\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Dental implants are the only permanent solution available to replace missing teeth.
