Implant Dentistry In Addison

When you are missing teeth, it is crucial to your health and well-being to replace them as soon as possible. Without all your teeth, chewing and eating can destabilize your bite, weaken your other teeth and cause you discomfort.

 

When teeth are missing, bone deterioration can occur, resulting in facial sagging and collapse. Having missing teeth can also be damaging to your confidence due to the way it ages your appearance. Dental implants are a great way to replace your missing teeth and ensure that your facial structure is preserved.

What is a Tooth Implant?

Using state-of-the-art implant dentistry technology and procedures, The Addison Dentist can either place a new dental implant or even restore a current dental implant in order to repair your smile.

 

A tooth implant is a tiny titanium post that is inserted into the jaw bone where teeth are missing. Over time the bone and titanium bond together, functioning like a tooth root and providing a stable foundation for artificial replacement teeth. After the implant has successfully fused with the jaw bone, the tooth implant is considered healed. A beautiful porcelain crown crafted to look just like a natural tooth is then secured to the top of the implant. The entire process typically takes around 6-8 months.

 

The dental crown essentially serves as the “new” tooth on top of the “new” tooth root. The doctor is able to finish your dental implants by placing the crownbridgedenture, or other prosthetic.

Uses for Tooth Implants

  • Dental implants may also be used to anchor dentures, especially lower dentures that tend to shift when you talk or chew.
  • For patients with removable partial dentures, dental implants can permanently replace missing teeth so that you have a more natural-looking smile.
  • We offer traditional dental implants and mini dental implants. Both implant dentistry options have advantages, depending on your individual circumstances. A mini tooth implant works better for people who have limited bone in their jaw.
  • Dental implants can be used to secure permanent dentures.
  • All on 4 are a special type of implant supported denture that can give you dental implants and permanent dentures in a day!
