What Are Dental Implants?

When you’re missing teeth, it really shows — literally. Most people can readily see that empty space in your smile. That’s not a good thing. In addition, you could have trouble chewing or talking.

If you have removable dentures, your replacement teeth could move around in your mouth. They can even fall out. How embarrassing is that?

By calling our St. John or Valparaiso dental offices, you can correct all of that with dental implants. Here’s how they work:

A dental crown is custom-made to look like the tooth it’s replacing
An artificial tooth root is surgically placed in your jawbone.
An abutment is connected to it
The dental crown is connected to the abutment.
If you have dentures, then you get several artificial roots implanted. Then the gum-colored base is connected to those implants.

One thing that we are all interested in is finding ways to save money. We search out sales at the store, we clip coupons (at least some of us do), and we are always searching for the lowest price. This is because money is one thing we never seem to have enough of. What if we told you that you could save money on your dental care and still have a great smile? Would you want to hear more? Here are some natural ways to supplement your dental care from Creating Smiles, PC. Check with Dr. Kapers before you make any long-term changes to your dental hygiene routine.

One of the biggest responsibilities that we have as parents is to teach our kids the right way to do things. We teach them how to dress themselves, how to treat people they meet, and how to work ethically and with integrity. As parents, we are also responsible for teaching our kids good personal hygiene. This includes washing themselves, washing their hands, and also taking care of their teeth. The dental hygiene part is really important. After your kids become adults, they will still take a shower each day. They will wash their hands each day. But with their teeth, they may brush each day, but that is only part of the puzzle when it comes to having a great smile.

How do you keep a great smile for the long run? Well, it takes a combination of things. The first is to make sure that you are attending your regular dental appointments with your dentist. Normally, these would be every six months. This give Dr. Kapers a chance to stay on top of your dental health and address any issues that may begin to develop. A second part is your home dental hygiene. This is brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing your teeth regularly, and using mouthwash to help keep your gums healthy on a daily basis.
