What Are Dental Implants?
Addressing missing or severely damaged teeth is essential to the overall health of your mouth. Dr. Palmer is pleased to offer natural-looking dental implants to Houston, TX men and women seeking a solution for missing or broken teeth. A fixed implant utilizes a sturdy post that serves as a man-made tooth root. A custom crown, bridge, or denture replaces the visible portion of the lost tooth or teeth. If you have missing teeth or need a tooth removal, schedule a consultation at Palmer Dental Group of Houston and ask about our fixed implant solutions.
What Is the Dental Implant Process?
The dental implant process includes carefully placing the post and attaching the custom restoration, such as crowns, bridges, or partial dentures. Once the area is prepared for treatment, it will be numbed with local anesthesia. Sedation techniques can also be utilized to help patients feel more relaxed during their treatment. The metal post will be surgically secured within your jaw at the appropriate spot, and over time, the post will fuse with the jaw in a process known as osseointegration. When the implant area has fully healed, which typically takes several months, Dr. Palmer will place a custom implant denture, crown, or full-arch restoration and assess the alignment of your bite.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants are often recommended for the substantial advantages they offer patients. By restoring oral function, dental implants:
- Fuse with the jawbone to support jawbone health and stability
- Look and function like your natural teeth
- Provide improved jaw strength and long-lasting results
- Could enhance your self-confidence when talking or smiling
- Enable the consumption of a well-rounded diet
- Work as a durable tooth replacement alternative
- Do not use neighboring teeth for support
