Dental implants are the ultimate teeth replacement solution for missing teeth. Implant-supported teeth are incredibly stable because they are anchored by synthetic implants that serve as artificial tooth roots. Implants more than pay for themselves because they are designed to last for a lifetime. Webster dentist and implant specialist Dr. Das offers dental implant placement and restoration, Teeth in a Day, All-on-4, and immediate implants in one convenient location. What are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium rod that looks like a screw. The screw replaces the tooth root and the dental crown replaces the visible portion of the tooth. Implants are surgically embedded …show more content…
in the jaw and allowed to merge with the bone to form a strong foundation for replacement teeth. We over nitrous oOxide, oOral sedation, and IV sedation for the comfort of our patients during this procedure.
Teeth in a Day
Teeth in a Day is an innovative procedure that restores missing teeth and full function in just one day. The dental implant and the dental crown or dentures are placed on the same day instead of separately. Teeth in a Day is ideal if you are getting multiple implants that are linked together.
All-on-4
The All-on-4 implant system uses just four implants to support a full set of dentures or replacement teeth. The beauty of the All-on-4 is that it can be used even if the patient has a thin jawbone. Bone grafting is often not required because the special implants take advantage of existing bone. The two back implants are placed at an angle to provide maximum support.
Immediate Implants
Immediate implants are placed at the same time as the replacement crown, bridge, or denture.
Teeth in a Day is an example of immediate implants that are attached to crowns or dentures on the same day.
How Will I Suffer If I Don’t Have Dental Implants?
The number one thing that people know about dental implants is that they will give you a beautiful smile through replacing missing teeth with new, functional teeth. But perhaps the most important thing that dental implants do is that they greatly improve your oral health. When you lose teeth, the roots of those teeth go along with them. When you lose the roots of your teeth, the bone and gum tissue that once surrounded that tooth no longer have anything to support.
What will happen when the bone and gum tissue no longer have a tooth to support is that they will begin to deteriorate. When they begin to deteriorate, it will not only affect your oral health but it will also have a great influence on your appearance. The reason that your appearance will change is because the loss of bone and gum tissue will shrink your jaw. When your jaw shrinks, it will cause more wrinkles to show up on your face, which will make you look older than you really are!
The Greatness Of Dental
Implants
The most amazing thing that dental implants do is replace the roots of your teeth to ensure that gum tissue and bone don’t deteriorate. The dental implants are inserted into your jaw and effectively take the place of the roots that were lost along with your natural teeth. Once the implants are placed, your replacement teeth can be attached to them to give you a perfectly beautiful smile that is also functional!
If you chose not to replace your missing teeth, or even replace them with ineffective dentures, you won’t be able to eat all of the foods that you love because your teeth won’t be able to chew them without breaking or becoming damaged. When you are making the decision about how to replace your missing teeth, remember that the healthiest replacement option is dental implants at Clear Lake Dental Care!
