If you’re looking for a beautiful smile that also looks natural, your dentist may recommend dental implants. Dr. Alan Bream and his dental staff at Bream Family Dental Care in Waynesboro, VA, offer dental implants to patients who need to replace their missing teeth. Implants are replacement roots for missing teeth that fuse to your jawbone and permanent or replaceable fixtures are then attached.

If you’re considering implants, there are many benefits, including:

• Natural Appearance: Dental implants are made to look, feel, and function like your real teeth. Your friends and family won’t be able to tell the difference.
• They’re Comfortable: Alternatives to implants include bridges and dentures, which can be uncomfortable or slip out of place. Implants are custom fitted for your teeth and always stay in place.
• They’re Durable: Because dental implants fuse with your jawbone, they become a permanent part of your mouth. They are strong and durable and can last many years, possibly a lifetime. 
• They Make Eating Easier: Because they function naturally, implants allow you to eat the foods you want without discomfort.
• They’re Easy To Care For: You also brush and care for your implants the same way as natural teeth. They require no special care, unlike some other options.
• They Don’t Require Losing More Teeth: Tooth-supported bridges require reducing your teeth, but implants don’t. They also offer more space between your teeth, improving oral hygiene.

At Bream Family Dental Care, patients can often receive implants the same day with one or more teeth. The doctor will insert a titanium post into your implant before attaching a replacement tooth.

First, patients should schedule a consultation to determine whether or not implants are the best options for them. To schedule an appointment with Bream Family Dental Care, call (540) 949-7246.
