Dental Implants in Houston
What Are Dental Implants?
Advantages of Dental Implants
For this reason, a dental implant seems to be the most advisable choice for a tooth restoration procedure in many situations, particularly where there is sufficient bone available for it.
Durability and Longevity
Dental implants can last for decades, making them the best option among dentures or bridges.
Improved Oral Health
Dental implants help to support the natural bone of your jaw, maintaining a healthy jaw structure while decreasing chances of further losing teeth.
Looks Natural
The crowns or bridges tightly are fitted to the dental implants to appear as one’s natural teeth. You will be able to freely smile, eat and talk without any fear of embarrassment.
Improved Functionality
With dental implants, a person does not need to worry about slippage, and discomfort while chewing and speaking. Offering a much higher functionality than conventional dentures.
The Dental Implant Procedure at A+ Star Smiles in Houston
At A+ Star Smiles, our staff is aware that the process of getting dental implants can be overwhelming and therefore, we make every effort to ensure that our patients are well-informed and comfortable during the process. Here is what you should look forward to when you decide to visit us as your dentist in Houston:
Initial Consultation
The first step towards receiving a dental implant consists of “proper consultation” where the patient is examined by our doctor, and his oral health is evaluated including x-rays and a thorough explanation of possibilities. At this stage, it will be decided whether you are a good candidate for dental implants or not.
Surgical Placement
Once you are examined thoroughly, the dentist places the dental implant into your bone with surgical intervention. This is normally done under local or general anesthesia depending on the person and situation.
Healing Period
Once the implant is embedded into the jaw, there is normally a waiting period of a few months to allow the implant to fuse with the bones. During this period, a temporary crown may be installed on the butt of the implant to cover the fake dent.
Placing the Abutment and Crown
An abutment is attached to the implant, which supports the bridge that is fitted later on or the new crown. In the end, the final restoration of the patient is done using a crown that has been individually crafted.
Follow-Up Care
Our team will schedule appointments to review the healing progress and check the proper performance of the implant.
