We often help address minor and more advanced cases of tooth loss in Conroe, TX, with an advanced and long-lasting treatment option. In today’s blog, we’re going to take a look at dental implants, and how we can create and place these lifelike solutions for missing teeth. When should you see us for tooth replacement, and what does the procedure involve?
The New Roots
If you have lost one or several teeth, then we can use this option to provide strong and lifelike replacement. What makes them different from other options is the fact that dental implants actually act as new tooth roots. Once we insert them into the jawbone, they bond with the bone tissue through a process known as osseointegration, which keeps them in place for decades, if not a lifetime. Compare that to bridges and removable dentures, which typically need replacement every 10 years or so.
Restorations
After the new tooth roots are secured, we address the visible portion of your new tooth. We add an abutment that will hold a new and custom-made dental crown in place. The crown will be created from ceramic or similar materials, which not only look natural and blend with your smile, but can absorb bite forces and pressures as well. Routine care can help protect your new teeth from gum disease and other factors, helping them last for many years to come.
Bridges and Dentures
What if you have more severe cases of tooth loss? Instead of replacing each and every individual tooth with a single dental implant, we may place two to three to support a bridge or six to eight per arch to secure a full set of dentures. These prosthetics will be fixed in place and never slip during meals or speech. Again, they will last for many years to come and restore your ability to eat your favorite foods and smile with confidence. We always take steps to craft them from lifelike materials, ensuring an esthetically-pleasing appearance. If you would like to address your tooth loss, then schedule consultation. We will examine your smile to see which option is best before you, and starting you on the road towards full and stable smile. Let’s make 2020 the year you enjoy a full and beautiful smile!
