Cary area dentist describes dental implants

Dr. Carl McMillan is dental professional in the Cary area who works regularly with patients who need to repair their smiles. Whether they have broken a tooth or are missing one or more teeth, there are options available for them. At Cary and Cornelius Holistic Dental Centers, we consult with individuals to help them in achieving a smile that is beautiful and fully functional.

One method of repair for missing teeth often considered by patients is dental implants. Dental implants are restorative solutions for individuals who are missing one or more teeth from the dental arch. They are versatile restorations that can be used in a myriad of ways, and patients are urged to learn about them for long-term repair. However, many dental practices place titanium dental implants, which can do more damage than good because of their immunosuppressive abilities. Instead, when patients are seeking dental implants to hold a dental bridge in place, replace a missing tooth, or to stabilize dentures, they are encouraged to consider dental implants made of zirconium. These are much better than titanium implants that can cause systemic issues with the bloodstream. In fact, at the practice of Cary and Cornelius Holistic Dental Centers, Dr. Carl McMillan avoid the use of metals altogether because they are not good for the body.

Dental implants are a popular way for patients to repair their smiles because they are long lasting and reliable. These rods are placed into the jawbone and restored over the top with a denture, crown, or dental bridge, dependent on the needs of the patient. With proper care, dental implants are known to last a lifetime.
