Dental Implants in Haslet
Long-Lasting False Teeth Solutions
Having a missing tooth can make chewing difficult and can also weaken your surrounding teeth. Implants are a good solution for patients wishing to permanently fill gaps in their mouths. Implants are also a good option if you are tired of caring for your dentures or prefer a more natural feel, as implants require much less upkeep and are more permanent.
If you are interested in implants, ask a Haslet dentist at Oak Springs Family Dental. Schedule your appointment at (682) 478-2244.
Smile More with the Many Benefits of Dental Implants
Patients who have had dentures for a while will especially appreciate the transition to dental implants. Implants are permanently fixed into your mouth, so you don't have to go through an extra cleaning procedure as you do with dentures. Simply brush them as you would the rest of your teeth. They blend well and look impressively realistic, helping to improve your confidence as well.
Other benefits include:
- No need to file the surrounding teeth, as with a bridge
- Bone fuses to the implant, making it incredibly stable
- Blends seamlessly with your existing teeth
- Does not affect your speech, as the more movable dentures are prone to do
- Lasts a lifetime if properly tended
What to Expect During Your Implant Procedure
The process of attaching a dental implant spans over a few months. In your first appointment, the titanium support for the false tooth is drilled into your jaw bone. Over the next few months, your mouth is given the chance to heal around the implant, fusing the titanium with your bone for durable integration.
Once your mouth has healed, you will return to have the false tooth fitted over the implant, completing the procedure. During this second appointment, your gum may be opened in order to more smoothly fuse the new tooth to the implant.
