A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically inserted into the jawbone beneath the gum line. This post serves as a substitute for the tooth root, providing a strong and durable foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth.
The implant integrates with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration, which provides stable support for artificial teeth, allowing them to feel and function like natural teeth.
The journey to restoring your smile begins with a detailed consultation at Houston Dental Oasis, where dental professionals assess your oral health and discuss your expectations.
The procedure involves placing the titanium implant post into the jawbone, followed by a healing period during which the implant integrates with the bone.
This critical phase involves waiting for the bone to grow around the implant, securing it firmly in place—a process that can take several months.
These are the most common type of implants, placed directly into the jawbone and typically shaped like small screws.
Placed under the gum but above the jawbone, these are used for patients who do not have enough healthy natural jawbone and cannot, or do not want to, undergo a bone augmentation procedure to rebuild it.
Dental implants are designed to be a long-lasting solution for tooth loss, with the potential to last a lifetime with proper care.
Unlike traditional bridgework, dental implants do not require adjacent teeth for support. This preservation of natural tooth tissue leads to improved long-term oral health.
Most adults with sufficient bone density and good oral health are candidates for implants, though certain medical conditions may necessitate additional evaluation.
Implants are an excellent solution for individuals who have lost one or more teeth due to injury, disease, or decay.
