Tooth enamel may be lost as a result of tooth decay, injury, or due to destructive habits like teeth grinding and clenching. Know how to recognize if you have lost tooth enamel and learn what to do next. Your dentist in Reynoldsburg provides information on worn tooth enamel below!
Columbus Implant Dentist Offers Sinus Surgery for Bone Growth
August 23, 2016
Although there are other options for tooth replacement, nothing can match dental implants for longevity, stability and appearance. Dental implants are comprised of a small titanium post that is surgically embedded in your jawbone and a tooth restoration—porcelain crown, bridge or denture—that is attached to the implant. An implant restores your smile, your ability to chew and talk, and even stimulates healthy new bone growth so the shape of your jaw and face are maintained. However, you need adequate bone density to place the implant in the first place. If you happen to need to replace a tooth in the upper rear portion of your mouth, then Columbus implant dentist Dr. Mick may recommend a bone graft procedure through your sinus cavity.
