Our endodontists at our Apex Endodontics offices in the greater Nashville area know that there are many benefits of dental implants. Benefits of dental implants include:
Before undergoing dental implant surgery at one of our offices in Nashville, Smyrna, Brentwood or Hendersonville, it’s important to take precautions recommended by our endodontists:
A missing tooth can lead to potential problems if not treated with a dental implant:
Removable Partial Denture (RPD)
An RPD attaches to your natural teeth with metal clasps or devices called precision attachments. Drawbacks:
Fixed Bridge
A Fixed Bridge is a false tooth fused between two porcelain crowns to fill in the area of the missing tooth. The neighboring teeth are prepared (drilled) to attach a 3-tooth fixed bridge. Drawbacks:
Dental Implants
A Dental Implant is an artificial tooth root made of titanium and metal. A dentist places it into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. A dental implant is a permanent fixture in your mouth that has excellent long-term success.
A dental implant also provides more advanced options for replacing a missing tooth than a conventional removable partial denture or a fixed bridge.
A dental implant helps to preserve healthy teeth and eliminate the risk of dental decay.
