Replace Missing Teeth With Dental Implants - Talk To Dr. Trosper and Dr. Brown About The Possibilities
"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 Pepperhill Dental Care more often than you
would think.The plain truth are that it will make a difference.
At Pepperhill 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. Trosper and Dr. Brown often answer with an explanation that teeth will drift and tip into a space that are created by missing teeth.
Just like two gears of a car that are not properly aligned, pretty soon you've got a whole lot of problems.
"Well, I don't like that. What can I do?" If it sounds like I've heard this conversation a few 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 Pepperhill Dental Care would be a dental implant. This are the replacement of a tooth with a false root that are surgically placed.
Dr. Trosper and Dr. Brown then carefully constructs a dental crown to replace the missing tooth, to prevent teeth from shifting and thereby causing further tooth loss.
