Feb 27, 2014 /prREACH/ -- Midlothian, VA cosmetic dentist, Dr. Robert Sorenson, is offering patients the chance to completely transform their smile using the latest dental technology. Utilizing dental implants, Dr. Sorenson is able to rebuild patient smiles after natural tooth loss, giving them a permanent, natural-looking solution that lasts for a lifetime.
It is estimated that more than 175 million American adults are missing at least one permanent tooth as a result of injury, decay, or oral disease. While the absence of permanent teeth is not only aesthetically displeasing, it can also lead to more advance oral issues and health problems.
Traditionally, those with missing permanent teeth had to rely on bridges or removable dentures to restore function and aesthetics to their smile. Unfortunately, bridges require alteration to the healthy surrounding teeth, and removable dentures inhibit lifestyle and can create severe discomfort. With dental implants, however, patients can enjoy a permanent solution that looks, feels, and performs just like a natural tooth.
“Dental implants are truly the next best option to natural teeth, and in many instances, perform and look even better than natural teeth,” said Dr. Robert Sorenson, dental implants dentist in Midlothian, VA. “They’re restoring patients’ confidence in their smiles and also providing them with a healthier, more functional solution after permanent tooth loss.”
The dental implant procedure is completed by first inserting a small metal screw in the jawbone of the patient through a surgical procedure. Acting as a natural tooth root the metal screw would gradually fuses with the bone as the healing process is completed. After several weeks, an artificial crown is attached to the implant that has been customized by Dr. Sorenson to be the size, shape, and shade that the patient desires.
