As you grow older, you need to take a little more time taking care of your teeth. Issues like periodontal disease become more prevalent after the age of 50, and that means sticking to your schedule of checkups. Bacterial buildup of plaque and tartar can really get down in there and cause problems. And when you do experience adult tooth loss, speaking with a talented, qualified prosthodontist in your area can be a real advantage.

So, if you have lost a tooth or two, talk to Dr. Haj-Ali, DDS, MS at Dreem Dentistry in Leawood, KS. She understands the value of a complete, quality smile, and she works with advanced prosthodontic tools to help people there. Adult tooth loss can also increase your risk of experiencing additional missing teeth, so take a few minutes to talk with a trusted oral health team about your next steps. We have real solutions after tooth loss.

Dental Implant Placement Offers Advanced Prosthodontic Technology

There is one prosthodontic process which has quickly become a favorite for providers and patients alike. We’re talking, of course, about dental implant placement. This approach uses a small, threaded titanium post to provide a foundation for a prosthetic. The human body does not identify titanium as a threat, so bone tissue grows snugly between the threads.

After a short period of healing, a replacement prosthetic called a pontic is attached to the dental implant. This looks and acts just like the real thing, helping patients to chew and speak as normal.
