At The Addison Dentist, we understand the life-changing impact that missing teeth can have on both your health and confidence. Dr. Steven Lee, Dr. Julio Obando, and Dr. William Shattuck specialize in advanced dental implant procedures that allow patients to restore their smiles with natural-looking, long-lasting results. Dental implants are more than just replacements—they are the foundation for a healthier, more confident you.
Why Dental Implants Matter
Missing teeth can lead to more than just cosmetic concerns. Gaps in your smile can weaken your bite, strain remaining teeth, and even cause discomfort when eating. Over time, bone loss in the jaw may occur, leading to changes in your facial structure, such as sagging or collapse. This not only affects function but can also make you appear older than you are. Dental implants are designed to preserve your bone structure, restore function, and bring back the youthful confidence of a complete smile.
What Makes a Dental Implant Unique
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jaw where a tooth is missing. This post fuses naturally with the bone, creating a strong foundation similar to that of a natural tooth root. Once healed, a custom-crafted porcelain crown is attached, blending seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. This process typically takes several months to complete, but the result is a replacement that looks, feels, and functions like a real tooth.
Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even secure dentures for greater stability. For patients with limited bone structure, mini dental implants may be a suitable alternative. In some cases, advanced treatments such as All-on-4 implants provide patients with permanent dentures in as little as one day.
The Benefits of Choosing Implants
Patients often choose implants because they offer strength, durability, and a natural appearance. Unlike traditional dentures, implants do not slip or shift, allowing you to eat and speak with confidence. They also protect surrounding teeth and support the overall structure of your jaw, preventing the bone deterioration that often follows tooth loss.
For those who have struggled with uncomfortable or unstable dentures, implants can be life-changing. They provide the comfort of permanent teeth and the peace of mind that comes with knowing your smile is secure.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most patients in good oral and overall health are excellent candidates for dental implants. Having sufficient bone density is important, as the implant needs a stable foundation. Healthy gums without active periodontal disease are also necessary for successful placement. At The Addison Dentist, we conduct thorough evaluations, including dental and radiographic exams, to ensure that implants are the right choice for your needs. Working closely with trusted oral and maxillofacial surgeons, our doctors tailor treatment plans to deliver the best possible outcomes.
