Chewing and eating the healthy foods you\u2019ve always enjoyed becomes more difficult, while talking and smiling in front of others may feel embarrassing. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glastonburysmiles.com\/about-us.html\">Dr. Veronica Yu and Dr. John Carroll<\/a> offer solutions for missing or failing teeth, and dental implants might be the answer for you. Read on to determine if you\u2019re a candidate for dental implants in Glastonbury.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>What is a Dental Implant?<\/h3>\n<p>A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aaid-implant.org\/about-dental-implants\/what-are-the-benefits-of-dental-implants-over-other-treatments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dental implant<\/a> is a very successful tooth replacement option because it restores both your tooth and your root. Placing a biocompatible titanium post into your bone during a surgical procedure does this. The implant is then give 3-6 months to heal, which gives it time to integrate with your bone and create a stable foundation for your new tooth.<\/p>\n<p>When your implant is ready, our doctors will design a porcelain crown that closely mimics your natural tooth in form, shape, and aesthetics. This will ensure that you have all the same function you had before, and you\u2019ll be chewing, talking, and smiling again with ease.<\/p>\n<h3>Are Dental Implants Right For Me?<\/h3>\n<p>In order to be successful, dental implants do require a few things such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Enough healthy bone structure present to support the implant<\/li>\n<li>The patient has healthy teeth and gums<\/li>\n<li>The patient is not taking bisphosphonate medications<\/li>\n<li>An understanding that this process will take a number of months to complete, and is different for each patient<\/li>\n<li>The patient is not suffering from autoimmune disorders or uncontrolled diabetes, which can affect the healing process<\/li>\n<li>The patient doesn\u2019t smoke, or is willing to quit during implant treatment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our doctors can determine if dental implants are right for you with an examination and x-rays. They\u2019ll discuss these determining factors with you and recommend any necessary treatment to complete prior to implant surgery. For example, if periodontal disease was the cause of your tooth loss, you\u2019ll need to treat it and have it under control before undergoing implant surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Yu and Dr. Carroll work together to provide comprehensive implant dentistry, allowing us to complete your treatment from start to finish here at our office. It\u2019s a great comfort to our patients to know they won\u2019t be referred elsewhere for any aspect of their care, and that they\u2019ll be working with the team they already know and trust.<\/p>\n<h3>Contact Our Office<\/h3>\n<p>Don\u2019t live with a compromised tooth any longer! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glastonburysmiles.com\/contact-us.html\">Contact your dentist in Glastonbury today<\/a> to learn more about your options for tooth replacement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you live with a compromised tooth, it greatly impacts your daily life.
