Implants

It’s very important to replace missing teeth with one of our restorative options to keep your mouth healthy. For the best results, you’ll want to choose dental implants if your jawbone can support them. They are the closest you can get to bringing back your natural smile.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are screw-like posts that are placed inside your jawbone. Typically made of biocompatible titanium, they are meant to act as an artificial tooth root. All other restorations are surface level and are not secured to the bone, making implants the most durable, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing choice.

Once we place the implant and the area has healed, we’ll connect it to a natural-looking crown for maximum functionality using an abutment.

Are Dental Implants Right for Me?

Unfortunately, implants aren’t for everyone, and you’ll need a consultation with the dentist to determine if you’re eligible. Dr. Nabors will first look for any noticeable oral health issues. These will need to be taken care of before anything else.

We’ll also take X-rays to examine your bone density levels. If your jawbone has deteriorated beyond a certain point, bone grafting is a potential option to restore it.

What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

With dental implants, you won’t just get a better-looking smile – you’ll get a healthier one too. Some of the great benefits you’ll notice include:

• Prevention of facial sagging
• Increased jawbone strength
• Easier chewing and speaking
• Increased self-esteem
• Natural-looking crowns thanks to the CEREC® scanner.
