Dental Implants in Brazil, IN

When you are missing adult teeth, your oral health is at risk. Specifically, you risk losing bone mass in your jaw, which can impact the health of your remaining teeth, your appearance, and the strength of your bite.

Your teeth have roots that extend deep into your gums and jawbones. When you chew, it puts pressure on your teeth. That pressure is absorbed down through the roots of your teeth where it stimulates your jawbones. This simple action helps to keep your jawbones strong and healthy.

When there is no tooth there to transfer the pressure, your jawbone does not get the stimulation it needs. This can cause the bone to weaken and actually lose mass. If left untreated, it can also lead to further tooth loss.

Dental implants are the best solution for missing adult teeth because they mimic the function of your tooth’s root. This prevents bone loss and keeps your jaws healthy and strong. At Campbell Dental Associates, we will help you get high-quality dental implants to keep your smile looking and feeling great for years to come.

What Exactly Is A Dental Implant?

The dental implant itself is a small metal post, usually made of titanium. In order to restore your missing tooth, an oral surgeon will place the implant deep in your gums where your tooth’s roots used to be. As your jaw heals, your bone will actually start to grow around the implant, which ensures the implant will be stable.

Once you have completely healed from the implant procedure, Dr. Campbell will attach a custom-made crown to the top of your implant. This crown becomes your new tooth, and we can match its color, shape and size to your natural teeth so your smile will look natural.

Your new tooth will look, feel, and work just like your natural teeth. When your smile is fully restored, you can continue to eat the foods you love and smile with confidence.

Who Can Get Dental Implants?

When you visit Campbell Dental Associates, Dr. Campbell will thoroughly examine your teeth and jaws to ensure you are a good candidate for dental implants.

In order to make sure your implant surgery is successful, you may need to get treatment for oral health conditions such as:

Gum disease (periodontitis or gingivitis)

Insufficient bone mass in your jaw

Our expert team will let you know after your examination if you may need treatment prior to receiving your dental implant.
