Dental Implants from Metro East Dental Care in Granite City![]()
Want a more natural-looking and more comfortable cosmetic dentistry solution to missing teeth than removable dentures? Dr. Kent Splaingard of Granite City offers dental implants, which are permanently anchored into the jawbone and make for better chewing and a more natural smile. Dental implants form a chemical and mechanical bond with your jawbone and become a part of your natural teeth - so much that the jawbone actually grows into the implant! Dr. Splaingard can analyze your individual situation and determine if your oral tissues are healthy enough and your jawbone is in good enough shape to withstand the implant. If not, he will be happy to recommend another dental makeover solution! These images show the dramatic impact dental implants can make on nearly any smile, even right here in Granite City. Implants are a perfect fit and look as good - if not better - than your original teeth! Just contact Metro East Dental Care via the online appointment form or by calling (888) 476-7110 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Splaingard today! |
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. |
