What are Dental Implants?
If you’re missing one or more teeth, Stephen Thies, D.D.S., of Des Moines can use dental implants to help restore your flawless smile. A dental implant consists of a small piece of metal which is surgically implanted in the jawbone, essentially forming a replacement for the root of a tooth. As the tissue heals over the next two to six months, the bone around the implant fuses to the implant, creating a perfectly stable structure. After the patient has healed, Dr. Thies uses the implant to anchor crowns, bridges, or dentures - recreating your perfect smile. For more information about dental implants as a natural replacement for missing teeth, call Stephen R Thies DDS today at (515) 276-0202. Read more about dental implants:

Don't Forget to Floss! Clean between teeth daily with floss or an interdental cleaner. Decay-causing bacteria can hid between teeth where toothbrush bristles can't reach. Flossing helps remove plaque and food particles from between teeth and under the gum line. Visit Our Office Regularly! Take good care of your smile. Remember to visit the dentist regularly for professional cleanings and oral exams. Mouthwash Is Important, Too! Brushing and flossing may not be enough. The ADA now recommends using an antimicrobial mouthwash to reduce plaque and prevent gingivitis. |
