Fairfield, CT Dentist, Dr. Keith Rudolph, DDS Offers Dental Implants for Permanent Tooth Replacement

Missing teeth need to be replaced to ensure proper health and function of your mouth. While there are multiple options available, many replacements will need to be replaced themselves. Dr. Keith Rudolph, DDS of Fairfield, CT offers his patients dental implants, for life-long tooth replacement.

Dental implants are so close to your natural teeth that they are able to last a lifetime. They work by inserting a titanium post into the jawbone. This post is the actual implant and it acts as a tooth’s root. Dental implants are durable, they can be made to look just like your normal teeth, and they are permanent.

In order to place a dental implant, Dr. Rudolph will first surgically insert the titanium post into your bone socket. It will need several months to heal with the jawbone, so a temporary crown will be placed for this time period. When the healing process is complete, an abutment will be placed onto the implant for the base of your new tooth. A crown will be custom created for you. The crown will look and feel just like a natural tooth, so it will blend in perfectly with the rest of your smile. The crown will be cemented onto the abutment for life. Your new tooth is now installed and ready to be used just like a normal tooth would be.

With a dental implant, you do not need to worry about taking it out or having it move around while you eat. You can smile with confidence knowing that it is staying in place and looking good. Also, unlike bridges, there will be no additional teeth altered in order to place the implant. It is a single-tooth replacement.

If you are looking for a long-term solution to a missing tooth, dental implants are the perfect option for you. To schedule a consultation with Dr. Keith Rudolph, DDS of Fairfield, CT, call his office at (203) 254-9533 or visit his website, www.drkeithrudolph.com.
