The Modern, Leading-Edge Answer to Tooth Loss

If you have missing teeth, they’re probably the first thing you notice whenever you see your smile. Whether it’s in the mirror or in pictures online, all you can focus on is what isn’t there. Plus, missing teeth can be more than just a cosmetic problem. Over time, they make a person much more likely to develop gum disease, which in itself is the leading cause of tooth loss! For both your self-confidence and your health, it’s important that you replace your missing teeth, and the best way to do that, by far, is with dental implants in Southlake.

The 4-Step Dental Implant Process

  • Consultation
  •  Find out whether you’re a good candidate for dental implants and what your treatment timeline and plan will look like.
  • Surgery
  •  Your dental implants will be surgically placed, providing your replacement teeth with a strong foundation to be attached to.
  • Healing
  •  Before your prosthetic can be placed, your dental implants will fuse with your jawbone through a natural process called osseointegration and your gums will heal. This typically takes between three and six months.
  • Restoration
  • After small, metal connector pieces called abutments have been attached, your mouth will be ready for your new, custom-crafted replacement teeth.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants are a one-of-a-kind tooth replacement treatment because they restore the entire structure of missing teeth, from the roots to the crown. This allows for greater stability, improved chewing power, and because they’re permanently secured within your mouth, you won’t have to worry about removing them to clean them.
