Your dentist in Kansas City offers many options to replace missing teeth.As summer approaches, do not let an incomplete smile ruin your fun. Tooth loss is a common problem among adults with 178 million Americans missing at least one tooth. When living with missing teeth, your confidence quickly declines. However, it can also impact your quality and enjoyment for life. If you do not replace your lost teeth, you might just find yourself missing out of fun activities, like eating corn on the cob at family barbeques. Thankfully, you can restore your smile and regain your quality of life with your dentist in Kansas City, Dr. Michael Byars. He offers the solutions you need to permanently replace your missing teeth to make the most of your summer activities.

Benefit from Dental Implants

When compared to other forms of tooth replacement, like dentures, dental implants are the most preferred. Due to the materials and procedure used, they offer a lifelong solution to fill the space of missing teeth. With the use of a dental implant post and a custom-made crown, they are securely held in place. As a result, they are the only dental prosthesis to most closely mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth. Now, you can smile brightly in summer pictures with a confident, complete smile instead of having to hide your teeth.

Dental implants can be used to treat all severities of tooth loss—no matter if you are missing one tooth or all your teeth. A comprehensive consultation is needed to ensure you are a candidate for the procedure.

Single Tooth Replacement

Using a dental implant post, an abutment, and a dental crown, the root and crown of the tooth are replaced. The implant post is surgically inserted into the jawbone, allowing it to fuse to the implant post. After the jawbone has healed, an abutment is attached, which is needed to anchor the dental crown to the post. The dental drown is custom-crafted to match your remaining natural teeth.

Implant Retained Dentures

Those who are missing multiple teeth can choose an alternative option to traditional dentures and partials with implant retained dentures. This involves using multiple dental posts to anchor an arch or bridge of teeth into place to fill the space. Using a gum-colored base, the dentures look natural while being securely held in place with the implant posts.

All-of-Four

Using 4 dental implant posts, an entire arch of teeth is replaced. This can even be used for people who have decreased bone density because the posts are placed at an angle to support the arch. When compared to traditional dentures, they offer an increased biting force of over 70%, allowing you to eat your favorite foods.
