Our Dallas, TX holistic dental office provides dental implants to help you smile without hesitation!
The Necessity of Replacing Missing Teeth
When we lose our teeth, this can cause a number of major oral health complications. For example, the gap in your smile could cause nearby teeth to shift from position, creating misalignment that further impacts the health and appearance of your smile. If you have multiple missing teeth, this could limit your meal options and nutritional intake, and could even lead to problems with clear speech. The body will also stop sending doses of calcium and phosphates to the jaw around the missing root, which then leads to a breakdown linked to additional missing teeth and an older appearance. To restore your smile and preserve your facial features, we can offer dental implants.
Preparing Your Smile for Dental Implants
Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, these don’t rely on crowns, clasps, or suction to stay in place. Instead, our team will insert the dental implant post into the jawbone. The post is made from titanium, a biocompatible material the body accepts as natural root structure. It then bonds with the jawbone and acts as a new root, so your tooth can stay in place for decades to even a lifetime with proper care and attention. Our team will dine your smile to ensure your jawbone can support the new root. If so, we will plan the placement in detail, choosing the best angle, position, and depth to insert the post.
Placing and Restoring Your New Tooth
With local anesthesia and sedation, we can ensure your comfort during the placement process. Our team then uses digital guides to insert the post or posts into the jaw. For an individual one, we will complete the tooth by adding an abutment to the post and attaching a custom and lifelike dental crown. If you have a more advanced case of tooth loss. multiple posts could be inserted and we could connect a custom bridge or denture to them. If you have any questions about how we treat tooth loss with implant dentistry, then contact our team today to learn more.
