Studies show that people with full, attractive smiles are perceived as smarter, healthier, and more successful. They\u2019re also twice as likely to be hired for a new job or receive a promotion. If you\u2019re missing one or more teeth, don\u2019t put off tooth replacement.

This provided patients with partially renewed oral health and a better looking smile, but compared with dental implant restorations, there was still something to be desired. Some of the benefits of dental implants compared with other tooth replacement options include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Replace the root and the crown of the tooth<\/li>\n<li>Increase stability and chewing ability especially compared with dentures<\/li>\n<li>Last longer than traditional replacements saving money over time<\/li>\n<li>Look and feel more natural improving confidence<\/li>\n<li>Protect overall oral health preventing the deterioration of gum and bone tissue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Types of Dental Implants are Available?<\/h2>\n<p>Dental implants are small, titanium posts that mimic root structure. When placed into the jawbone, dental implants can be used to support any number of replacement teeth from a single tooth to a complete row of teeth. We\u2019ll typically recommend the following replacement plans:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Single tooth \u2013 one dental implant post will be connected to a dental crown<\/li>\n<li>Consecutive teeth \u2013 two consecutive teeth may be replaceable by attaching two crowns fused together to a single implant, but three or more consecutive teeth will need to be replaced with a fixed bridge connected to an implant post at both ends<\/li>\n<li>Nonconsecutive teeth \u2013 for numerous consecutive and nonconsecutive missing teeth, a partial denture will likely be recommended, and in most cases, we\u2019re able to support the partial with three or four implant posts<\/li>\n<li>Full arch \u2013 for a complete row of missing teeth, we will likely use a full denture attached to about four dental implants<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Meet the South Shore Dental Care Team<\/h3>\n<p>The South Shore Dental Care team is dedicated to making dentistry services of all kinds accessible and understandable for our patients.
