Restore Your Smile And Quality of Life With Dental Implants in Carmi IL

Losing one or more teeth doesn’t have to be the end of your healthy, beautiful, natural-looking smile. At Carmi Family Dental, we’ve helped countless patients’ rejuvenate their grins while protecting their oral health with dental implants.

Did you know … If you lose one tooth due to gum disease, decay, or trauma, its neighboring teeth will shift, potentially causing a change in the way your teeth fit together. This could create pain and affect how you eat, and even cause a change of facial structure. And, depending on the location of the tooth loss, it may also cause speaking difficulty. For most people, losing a tooth often initiates a decline in self-esteem.

At Carmi Family Dental, we have an excellent way to get you off the slippery slope and return you to optimal oral health … and it’s by placing a dental implant.

An implant is a replacement tooth root and crown that permanently replaces the lost tooth – or teeth. We can also use four dental implants to anchor an entire upper or lower denture to replace all your missing teeth, which is a huge advantage for people who have bone loss in their jaws. Many patients have found that our All-on-4 treatment removes the need for bone grafting since we can choose where to place the implant, taking advantage of your existing bone mass.

Here are a few of the numerous benefits associated with dental implants …

Save your smile. By getting implants immediately after tooth loss, you can prevent bone loss and maintain – or even improve – your facial appearance.

Enjoy eating your favorite foods just like you did with your natural teeth. Pain or discomfort won’t get in your way!

Speak clearly. Since implants don’t slip, click, or shift, you’ll deliver your next speech or have a one-on-one conversation with complete confidence.

Restore self-esteem. With a complete smile, you are much more likely to share it with those around you.

Easy care. There are no special instructions for caring for your implant(s). Your excellent home care and regular professional hygiene visits are all you need.
