Once you lose a tooth, your risk for losing more teeth increases. Also, your remaining teeth can shift around into the empty space and result in a misaligned bite, and risk losing part of your jaw bone. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilesofstyle.com\/dental-implants.html\">Dental implants<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilesofstyle.com\/\">South Shore Dental Care<\/a> are a great way to help restore a missing tooth and prevent negative consequences to your smile.<\/p>\n<p>When you have a <strong>dental implant<\/strong>, a titanium post will be inserted into your jaw to create the base for your <strong>implant<\/strong>. The post will bond with your jaw bone over time, mimicking the root of a natural tooth. A crown will be custom made to resemble your natural teeth and placed on top. At our office, we can both place and restore your <strong>dental implants<\/strong>, so you don\u2019t have to go to anyone else.<\/p>\n<p>If you take care of your <strong>implant <\/strong>just as you would your natural teeth, with proper brushing, flossing and dental visits, it can last you a long time. We want all our patients to have beautiful, healthy smiles, and <strong>dental implants <\/strong>is a great way to do so. If you\u2019re interested or want to know more, call us to schedule your consultation.<\/p>\n<p>At <strong>South Shore Dental Care<\/strong>, we\u2019re committed to providing our patients with a wide array of dental services, high-quality cosmetic dentistry, and up to the minute dental technology. Our <strong>Massapequa dental office <\/strong>serves patients from <strong>Long Island, Merrick, Bellmore, and Wantagh. <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilesofstyle.com\/contact.html\">Call us today<\/a> to schedule your appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re missing a tooth, the health of your smile is at risk until it is repaired.
