Replacement of missing teeth with dental implants
 

"Well, you know Doc, it's just a back tooth. No one will see it so I'll just get rid of it.  It's not going to make a difference."  Unfortunately we hear this type of comment at Spring Creek Dental Care more often than you would think.

The plain truth is that it makes a difference.  At Spring Creek Dental Care we know the loss of just a single tooth can set a course that can destroy an entire mouth.  "Well, if that's true, tell me more. I sure don't want to lose the front ones that I smile with."

Dr. Major often answers with an explanation that teeth will drift and tip into a space that is created by missing teeth.  Pretty soon you'll have a lot of problems just like when gears of a car are not properly aligned.

"Well, I don't like that. What can I do?"  If you think I've heard this conversation many times, you're right.  If I'm going to keep a patient happy, I need to provide options at this point.

One of the options we often discuss at Spring Creek Dental Care is a dental implant. This is the replacement of a tooth with a false root that is surgically placed.  Dr. Major then carefully constructs a dental crown to replace the missing tooth, thus preventing teeth from shifting and causing further tooth loss.

If you have any questions about missing teeth and possible implant treatment, please call our office at (866) 591-9012.
