Are you missing some teeth and looking for the best possible replacement? Dr. John Lu and Dr. Raúl Figueroa can have you covered! All you
need to do is visit their office in Lawrenceville, NJ, and ask about dental implants!
More About Dental Implants
Dental implants consist of a titanium post that is surgically inserted into your jaws to replace missing tooth roots. 3 to 6 months after placement, the natural process of osseointegration occurs (this is when the titanium post fuses with the jawbone).
After that time period is up, your Lawrenceville dentist will insert a screw atop the post before securing a crown on top of that which matches the rest of your teeth. You'll then walk out with a brand new smile!
Advantages of Dental Implants
There are many advantages when it comes to dental implants. Here are a few:
- You don't have to worry about gaps in your smile
- Implants create stability and strength in the jawbone, consequently preventing any bone shrinkage
- A dental implant can restore one tooth, a few teeth, or all of your teeth
- They can restore bite and chewing function
- Unlike dentures, dental implants are fixed-in and don't fall out of place
- Dental implants have a 95% success rate and can last a lifetime
Caring for Dental Implants
Follow these steps to properly take care of your implants:
- Make sure you brush your teeth and floss every day to do away with tartar
- Avoid sugary foods and eat plenty of fruits and vegetable (these foods help scrape plaque off teeth)
- Drink plenty of water to wash away food debris
- Use fluoride-containing products, like mouthwash and toothpaste
- Visit your dentist twice a year for regular checkups
- Get teeth professionally cleaned to remove plaque buildup
If you have more questions about dental implants, call Dr. John Lu and Dr. Raúl Figueroa in Lawrenceville, NJ, at (609) 896-0700. Dental implants will restore your smile back to full health!
