Smile Again With Dental Implants
Are you uncomfortable with the appearance of your smile? Do you find different ways to avoid social gatherings or being photographed? Everyone deserves a smile they feel good about. If you have missing teeth, it’s important to replace them. The most common causes of tooth loss are gum disease, tooth decay, or trauma.
Having one or more missing teeth can set off problems such as bite changes and bone loss. Also, your remaining teeth can shift and become more susceptible to tooth decay or gum disease. The benefits of dental implants go way beyond your smile. At Star Dental, we can help you smile again with dental implants.
What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a post made of titanium. It’s surgically placed into your jaw bone. An abutment attaches to the implant to connect the implant to the crown.
