Teeth Replacement Options
Dental Implants
Do missing teeth make you feel self-conscious? Do they interfere with your comfort and lifestyle? If so, you’re not alone. Studies show that 70% of Americans have lost at least one permanent tooth by age 17. If your smile is missing teeth, Dr. Britton may recommend the most lifelike replacement option available today, dental implants.
Implants consist of a small, titanium screw placed in the jawbone during a brief oral surgery. Jawbone will naturally fuse with the implant post to create a strong replacement for your missing tooth root. Dr. Britton will place an esthetic crown over the dental implant post to restore your smile. Some patients choose implants to anchor bridgework, partials, or dentures.
With dental implants, you'll regain the strong, reliable function you had with healthy, natural teeth. Eat what you like, whenever you like, and smile with full confidence. Implants can last a lifetime if cared for with regular brushing, flossing, and professional dental care. Visit our patient library to learn more about dental implants.
Whether you have one missing tooth or several, call Dr. Britton today in our Chillicothe or Jackson office to schedule your implant consultation. Families in this area, including in Jackson, have trusted us with their oral health for years.
