\"480753457\"<\/a>Unless you are a child eagerly waiting for the tooth fairy, nothing good can come from having a missing tooth. To the contrary, there are a number of negative consequences: a \u201chole\u201d in your smile, insufficient nutrition because you can\u2019t chew healthy foods, and damaged self-confidence. Obviously, tooth replacement is imperative. Dr. Gary Henkel<\/a> of Horsham Dental Elements in Horsham, PA<\/a>, and Philadelphia, PA<\/a>, is an expert in restoring smiles, good health and confidence with dental implants<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although you do have other options when choosing a tooth replacement\u2014crown and bridgework, partial or full dentures\u2014dental implants<\/b> are the most lifelike, because they not only replace the crown of a tooth, but the root, as well. And when you choose to have your dental implant<\/b> done at Horsham Dental Elements, you can be sure that you\u2019re receiving the finest care; Dr. Henkel not only places implants and restores bad implants, he teaches other dentists how to perform the procedure, as well.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Horsham Dental Elements uses cone beam computed tomography, or CBCT, to create 3D images as a guide for dental implant<\/b> placement.\u00a0With this, Dr. Henkel is able to more accurately position your implants during the actual procedure.<\/p>\n

The Dental Implant Procedure<\/h2>\n

The first step in tooth replacement with a dental implant<\/b> is minor surgery to position a titanium post in the bone beneath your open tooth socket. This post becomes the \u201croot\u201d of your new tooth. As such, it offers greater stability and prevents bone deterioration, which often occurs when there is a missing tooth and root. As you heal, the post and bone will fuse together. After a few months, you\u2019ll return to Horsham Dental Elements for Dr. Henkel to complete the tooth replacement by attaching a crown to the post. When completed, you\u2019ll have a lifelike tooth replacement that looks and feels completely natural.<\/p>\n
