Years of damage can contribute to tooth decay and other serious problems that can cause the teeth to fall out or suffer from severe damage. The idea behind this form of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilespringfield.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\" target=\"_blank\">cosmetic dentistry<\/a> is to improve the smile and allow the patient to feel comfortable when they speak, laugh, and smile once again. However, dental implants can also be considered a form of preventative dentistry because the procedure is used to place fake teeth and tooth roots in the mouth to protect the gum from being exposed. When teeth are missing and the gums are exposed, gum disease and bone loss may occur.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilespringfield.com\/dental-implants.html\" target=\"_blank\">Dental implants<\/a> are designed to function just as a normal tooth. Aside from function, the implants look and feel natural as well. No one would ever be able to tell the difference as to whether or not someone was wearing dental implants. Dr. VanderMolen places the artificial roots of the teeth into the gums so that he can secure the dental crown. In over 90% of instances, this procedure is very successful. Even though it is considered a highly successful and common dental procedure, there are times when dental implants can fail.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tThe success of your dental implants depends upon commitment of good oral hygiene for the life of your teeth. In some instances, dental implants may fail due to the lack of experience from the dentist, which is why patients are always advised to see a professional dentist with years of experience under his or her belt. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilespringfield.com\/about-us.html\" target=\"_blank\">Dr. VanderMolen<\/a><\/strong> <strong>has the experience you are looking for in an implant dentist.<\/strong> He has a high success rate of helping patients with dental implants, improving their smile and avoiding future discomfort.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t<strong><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"#2013\/03\/Proud-smile_2_300w.jpg\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 235px; margin: 5px; float: left;\" \/>For a consultation with Dr. VanderMolen of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilespringfield.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Advanced Dental Care of Springfield<\/a>, call 217-546-3333.<\/strong> We have the knowledge and expertise to give you the best possible result and a beautiful smile!&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilespringfield.com\/our-services.html\" target=\"_blank\">Click here<\/a> for more information on the services available at Advanced Dental Care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steps to Take for an Ideal Implant Procedure Dental implants are designed to replace teeth that are missing, broken, or damaged beyond repair.
