Missing teeth can affect far more than your appearance. They can impact your ability to eat comfortably, speak clearly, maintain healthy bone, and preserve the alignment of your remaining teeth. Fortunately, modern dental implants offer a long-lasting, natural-looking solution that can restore both your smile and your confidence.
At Eberhardt Dentistry, Dr. Kyle Eberhardt combines advanced technology, extensive implant training, and years of clinical experience to provide patients with comprehensive implant care. Whether you're missing a single tooth or multiple teeth, Dr. Eberhardt takes the time to thoroughly evaluate your needs, explain every available option, and help you make the decision that's best for your long-term oral health.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth because they replace both the visible tooth and its root.
An implant consists of:
• A titanium implant placed into the jawbone
• An abutment that connects the implant to the restoration
• A custom-made crown, bridge, or denture that looks and functions like a natural tooth
Because implants integrate with the jawbone, they create a stable, durable foundation that closely mimics a natural tooth root.
Why Replacing Missing Teeth Matters
Even a single missing tooth can begin affecting your oral health. Without replacement, missing teeth can lead to:
• Shifting of neighboring teeth
• Bite changes and jaw misalignment
• Difficulty chewing
• Increased wear on remaining teeth
• Speech changes
• Higher risk of gum disease
• Loss of facial support
• Progressive bone loss in the jaw
How Dental Implants Preserve Bone
Unlike bridges or removable dentures, implants replace the tooth root. Because they stimulate the jawbone during chewing, they help maintain healthy bone and significantly reduce the bone loss that normally follows tooth loss. This helps preserve facial structure, support neighboring teeth, and provide exceptional long-term stability.
