Are you missing one or more teeth? Facing adult tooth loss can be incredibly difficult. Many patients are confused by the many choices they have in tooth replacement methods. Today however, more and more patients are choosing to replace and restore their missing teeth with new dental implants. A dental implant is a small, biocompatible, titanium tooth root that is placed in your jaw or gums to securely hold a replacement tooth or denture. Dental implants are a popular option for patients who have lost teeth due to advanced gum disease or dental injury. They are also popular among denture wearers seeking a more comfortable and convenient method for denture retention. To see how dental implants could improve your quality of life, make a dental implants consultation appointment with Dr. Fox and the experienced restorative dentists of Livonia Dental Group today. Livonia Dental Group is the leading dental implants destination of: Livonia, MI, metro Detroit, Redford, Farmington, Northville, Plymouth, Westland, and the surrounding communities.

What Are Your Dental Implants Choices?

Traditional Dental Implants: Traditional implants are implanted securely in the jawbone, and are the most commonly used. The tiny titanium screws are surgically placed. These implants can hold one or more dental crowns or a full denture. This type of implant is typically used as an alternative to dental bridges and full or partial dentures.

Mini Dental Implants: These implants are placed on top of the bone, as opposed to in the jaw. The metal post will protrude through the gums to hold the crown or denture in place. These types of implants are used for patients who are unable to get traditional dental implants because of minimal bone density, or who are seeking a better way to retain their dentures.

Why Are More Tooth Loss Patients Choosing Dental Implants?

Dental implants are safe and effective. The replacement of lost teeth with dental implants has been used by dentists for more than 50 years and is trusted as an effective treatment option for most tooth loss patients. Dental implants treatment is generally more predictable than even bridgework or root canal treatment. In addition, dental implants will:

Allow you to enjoy all of your favorite foods again
Eliminate the need for messy denture adhesives
Eliminate the need to wear partial dentures with bulky metal clasps
Allow you to return to a normal oral hygiene routine
Save more of your natural bone and preserve your youthful facial features

Do you want to save time and money? If you value your time and pocket book, you should make an appointment with Dr. Fox the next time you need a dental crown. Dental crowns are used to repair the damage of a broken, heavily filled, or cracked tooth. A custom crown can return your tooth to its original size and shape. Crowns are needed to strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure and improve the appearance of the damaged tooth. In the past, you would need to make multiple visits to the dental office and wear a temporary cap before a new crown could be permanently placed. This inconvenient process significantly increased the cost of your restoration. Today however, Dr. Fox can offer you a shorter and simpler restoration with new CEREC One Visit Crowns. Using CEREC technology, your new crown can be designed, fabricated, and placed in just one short visit. Save your time and money this year; make an appointment with Dr. Fox and the friendly family dentists of Livonia Dental Group for your CEREC One Visit Crown today. Livonia Dental Group is trusted by families throughout: Livonia, MI, metro Detroit, Redford, Farmington, Northville, Plymouth, Westland, and the surrounding communities.

CEREC One Visit Crown Technology Explained

After Dr. Fox prepares your tooth, a thin layer of reflective powder will be applied directly to the tooth’s surface. Using a special digital camera, Dr. Fox will take pictures of the tooth. There will be no need for messy putty impressions. The pictures are used to design your new restoration chairside on the computer screen. Dr. Fox will be able to view, manipulate, and verify all aspects of your restoration design for accuracy and ideal fit. A block of porcelain in the tooth matched shade is then molded by the in-office milling unit. In a matter of minutes, the custom fabrication of your new CEREC crown is complete and ready to be bonded into place. The whole process typically takes under an hour.
