Washington, DC Dentist Successfully Restores Smiles With Dental Implant Procedure

    WASHINGTON, DC, November 28, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Tooth loss causes many disadvantages for people. When people suffer from tooth loss, it's important to begin treating/restoring the missing space; otherwise, tooth loss allows the jawbone to resorb, causing a change in facial structure. Plus, tooth loss makes smiling seem less fun. Dr. Patrick Howard, dentist in 20024 (Washington area), wants people to feel confident while smiling.

What are the causes of tooth loss? There are a variety of reasons a person can lose a tooth. Two main reasons are trauma and dental disease. In regards to trauma, a tooth can get knocked out, or the trauma can cause a fracture that potentially allows infection to develop and wreak havoc on the tooth root. Other times, bad oral hygiene may result in severe tooth decay or periodontal (gum) disease. The latter is one of the leading causes of tooth loss. In some cases, a patient is missing a permanent tooth, so there is no tooth to replace a primary (baby) tooth. This is called congenital absence.

"No matter the reason, I recommend a dental implant to restore a missing tooth. The advantages are amazing, and it's a restorative procedure that permanently takes care of a missing tooth. It's my mission to educate my patients regarding oral health and leading dental treatments. We provide care for the entire family, so no one misses out on great dental care, especially dental implants," asserts Dr. Howard, 20024 area dentist.

A dental implant procedure is one of the most popular restorative treatments in dentistry, and Dr. Howard wants patients to take full advantage of implant surgery. The look and feel of dental implants blend naturally with a patient's teeth. With the use of biocompatible implant material, such as titanium, it makes this a highly successful procedure. Plus, patients breathe a sigh of relief when they hear that implants are durable; thus, they can speak and eat without any slip-ups, literally.

Proper oral health techniques will make implants a long-lasting answer for tooth loss. In most cases, implants last a lifetime-remember proper care is key. In Washington (20024), dental implants are the go-to restorative treatment, and patients can trust Dr. Howard to provide quality dental care.
