What Are Tooth Implants?
Tooth implants are dental restorations that replace missing, broken, or decaying teeth. When a tooth is beyond repair or is missing, it compromises the integrity of your bite and your overall oral health. Your remaining teeth shift and are vulnerable to uneven wear and damage. Dental implants replace the teeth and recreate the appropriate spacing and pattern of your bite.
We offer dental implants in the array of options that best meet your needs, whether you need a single tooth or multiple teeth replaced. From implant-supported crowns to dentures, we can renew the fullness of your bite and smile. Our tooth implants consist of an implant post, an abutment, and prosthetic teeth. The implant post is made from titanium and acts like your natural tooth root by anchoring your restoration and stimulating your jawbone, which prevents bone loss and preserves your facial structure.
- Implant-Supported Crowns: An implant-supported crown can replace any missing tooth in your upper or lower arches. From molars to incisors, we carefully customize your dental implant to blend seamlessly with your smile for a uniform appearance. An implant-supported crown consists of a single dental implant, an abutment, and your custom crown.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: If you have multiple missing teeth in a consecutive row, then an implant-supported bridge can recreate the surface area of those teeth and restore your bite. Implant-supported bridges consist of two dental implants, one at the beginning and one at the end of your restoration, that are topped by crowns. The crowns have prosthetic teeth known as pontics suspended between them.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: When most or all of the teeth in your upper, lower, or both jaws are missing or decaying, it's vital to provide a solution that protects your oral health and boosts your smile. That's why we offer implant-supported dentures so you can eat, speak, and smile easily. The dental restorations are fixed in place by multiple strategically placed implant posts. The dentures consist of custom prosthetic teeth set in a comfortable acrylic base that mimics the color of healthy gum tissue, and they can be either partial dentures or full dentures depending on your needs.
Our Dental Implant Process
We believe every smile is unique and deserves individualized care. That's why we take the time to get to know you and ask questions to ensure we understand your concerns and the results you want to see. We'll perform a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and jaws, complete with x-rays and impressions. Our team will review the information and create a custom treatment plan that addresses your oral health needs and smile goals.
The information and measurements are sent to a trusted lab where your custom dental implants are created. We artfully match your prosthetic teeth to the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth so they blend beautifully with your smile.
Once your natural-looking crown, bridge, or dentures are complete, you'll receive the implant post. During the procedure, the titanium post is surgically placed, and you'll take time to heal and allow the post to fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. When you've healed, we'll attach the prosthetic teeth, and you're ready to share your new smile.
Tooth Implant FAQs
Renewing your smile can feel like a complicated process, and it's natural to have questions. That's why we encourage you to voice your questions and concerns. We are happy to provide the answers and resources you need to make an informed decision regarding your treatment plan. Here are some of the most common questions we receive about tooth implants in Houston:
Dental implants are durable, and the implant post is permanent because it fuses with your jawbone. The prosthetic teeth can last a decade or longer when you take care of them.
Yes. There are hard foods you should avoid chewing to improve the longevity of your dental implant. You should avoid chewing ice, hard candies, and certain nuts.
Implant-supported restorations are easy to care for because you simply brush and floss them twice daily, just like your natural teeth. It's important to maintain your biannual dental appointments so our dentist can verify the integrity of your restoration.
