Replace Missing Teeth With Dental Implants - Talk To Dr. Major About The Possibilities
"Well, you know Doc, it's just a back tooth. No one will see it so I'll just get rid of it. It's not going to make a difference."
Unfortunately we hear this type of comment at Spring Creek Dental Care more often than you
would think.The plain truth is that it makes a difference.
At Spring Creek Dental Care we know the loss of just a single tooth can set a course that can destroy an entire mouth. "Well, if that's true, tell me more. I sure don't want to lose the front ones that I smile with."
Dr. Major often answers with an explanation that teeth will drift and
tip into a space that is created by missing teeth. Pretty soon
you'll have a lot of problems just like when gears of a car are not
properly aligned.
"Well, I don't like that. What can I do?" If you think I've heard this conversation
many times, you're right. If I'm going to keep a patient happy, I need to provide options at this point.
One of the options we often discuss at Spring Creek Dental Care is a dental implant. This is the replacement of a tooth with a false root that is surgically placed.
Dr. Major then carefully constructs a dental crown to replace the missing tooth,
thus preventing teeth from shifting and causing further tooth loss.
