When you suffer from tooth loss, our team can help secure a replacement option so you can eat your favorite foods and smile with confidence. But like your natural teeth, these will need routine care to stay strong and bright. At your San Antonio, TX, dentist’s office, we explain how to care for your new dental implants.
What can you count on prosthodontic treatment to do for you? After losing just one tooth, you can experience serious issues with your appearance, bite function, and oral health. In addition to these immediate concerns, you can face complications in the long term if you do not receive the right restoration to replace what was lost.
