One of the most-effective tooth replacement solutions is dental implants. They give people with missing or broken teeth the ability to restore their smile. Not only does a dental implant function as a natural tooth but it also has the appearance of one. Whether you’re looking to replace one or multiple teeth, rely on us to achieve the beautiful-looking smile you’ve always wanted.
For years, our experienced cosmetic dentist has used dental implants to rebuild smiles for patients across Allen, TX and the surrounding communities. No matter the severity of your oral issues, we will determine if dental implants are right for your needs.
The actual dental implant is a small titanium post that acts as a tooth root. Once placed, a variety of prosthetics can be attached to it including crowns and bridges. During the procedure, local anesthesia is used to numb the area. A small incision is then made to expose the jawbone. Then, the dentist will implant one or multiple posts within the bone. After everything is properly placed, the gums are stitched up and the healing process begins. Depending on the number of dental implants placed, it can take anywhere from 3-6 months to heal. During recovery, the jawbone will bond and grow around the dental implant to ensure it’s properly secured.
Dental implants can truly restore teeth that are missing or broken. They can also be a permanent solution for those with uncomfortable dentures, partial dentures, or dental bridges. In order to qualify for dental implants, you must have a strong and healthy jawbone to support the replacement tooth or teeth.
