Dental Implants: The Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth

Your concern about missing teeth can now be put to an end as our implant dentistry department works hand-hand to give our patients a fuller smile at our dental practice in Sugar Land, TX. Implant dentistry deals with improving and enhancing your smile with the help of artificial tooth support structures. It improves a patient’s self-confidence by providing them a well-functioning set of teeth that looks and feels natural.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are embedded in the jawbone. They provide structural support to place artificial restorations (crowns) in the place of missing ones. Implants are generally made of Titanium as they are strong, durable, and do not wear and tear. We use dental implants as a part of restorative, cosmetic, and periodontal dental treatments.

What advantages do they offer our patients?

Apart from restoring the smile to its fullest, dental implants can offer patients a lot of benefits.

• Maintains and improves the facial structure
• Improves teeth aesthetics
• Allows patients to eat any type of food
• Prevents bone deterioration, overcrowding, and misalignments
• Improves overall confidence and self-esteem
• Improves speech and phonetics
• Distributes bite forces evenly throughout the mouth

Getting your dental implants

Almost anyone with missing teeth is eligible for implants. But as you visit us to get your customized implant, we go through a series of steps.

Planning Stage 

The planning stage involves a proper oral examination of the patients’ teeth to understand the requirement. This would involve a series of digital X-rays and evaluation of medical history.

Placing the implant 

The dentist would place the dental implant in place of the missing root offering strong anchorage.

Healing 

After placing the implant, the tissues surrounding the implant would be allowed to heal.

Abutment 

Once healed, the abutment is placed over the implant to connect the implant with the restoration.

Placing the restoration 

A temporary restoration in the form of a dental crown will be placed over the implant.

Getting your dental implants is virtually painless and can be performed very systematically. Your dentist will discuss aftercare instructions as you visit our practice for your customized implants.
