What is tooth replacement?

Missing teeth can affect your chewing, speech, bite, and quality of life. Tooth gaps can also diminish your self-confidence when you smile. At Baton Rouge Periodontics & Implants, the skilled periodontists have many years of experience replacing missing teeth using personalized treatment plans and cutting-edge technology.

What are the benefits of tooth replacement?

Replacing missing permanent teeth offers numerous benefits, including:

  • Easier ability to chew
  • Clearer speech
  • Beautiful smile
  • Self-confidence
  • Less adjacent tooth shifting
  • Natural-looking teeth 
  • Low risk of complications 

Tooth replacement can reduce wear-and-tear on your remaining natural teeth and the risk of headaches and jaw pain. It also lessens the chance of jawbone loss.

Is tooth replacement right for me?

Your Baton Rouge Periodontics & Implants provider lets you know which teeth replacement options are best after discussing your symptoms, oral health history, and desired outcome. They review the results of your dental X-rays and ask about your goals before customizing your treatment plan. 

You should be in good overall health and a non-smoker before undergoing tooth replacement procedures. You may first need a tooth extraction or jawbone grafting if your jaw isn’t strong enough to support your new artificial teeth. 

What are my tooth replacement options?

Some of the teeth replacement options available at Baton Rouge Periodontics & Implants include:

Dental implants

Dental implants are artificial metal posts that your periodontist places in your jawbone to anchor crowns, bridges, or dentures and replace missing permanent teeth.

Baton Rouge Periodontics & Implants uses the latest advancements in dental implant technology to provide outstanding results.

At Baton Rouge Periodontics & Implants, endosteal implants are the primary implants offered, which are made of titanium and resemble small screws. After your provider places them into your jawbone, endosteal implants serve as a foundation for new artificial teeth.
