Dental Implants in Little Elm
Tooth loss has been a problem historically handled with dental bridges or dentures. Dr. Vidya Suri is proud to offer her patients the option of tooth replacement with dental implants. In the years that implants have been used, patients and dentists alike have realized just how beneficial this form of treatment is to health and wellbeing.
Dental implants are different from conventional forms of tooth replacement because these prosthetics replace roots, not teeth. During a straightforward procedure, Dr. Suri inserts these tiny titanium posts into the jawbone where tooth loss has occurred. In the months after insertion, healthy bone tissue grows around the post or posts, achieving full stabilization while replicating the structure of natural teeth and their roots. Once implants have been stabilized by bone, an abutment (connector) and restoration can be placed and the smile fully restored.
There are several advantages to dental implant treatment:
- While bridges and dentures require updating and periodic refitting, the titanium posts stabilized by bone can maintain their structural integrity for life
- Implants not only provide the greatest amount of stability for chewing and other oral functions, they lead to the most natural look and feel after tooth loss
- Due to stabilization in the jawbone, just like natural teeth, implants require no support from surrounding teeth and are therefore considered a very conservative treatment option
- The jawbone needs stimulation in order to remain dense and strong. Implants, as replacement roots, maintain the transfer of force from chewing and facilitate the regeneration of bone tissue
- The stability that comes from dental implants enables you to feel confident when you eat, speak, smile, and laugh
Most people who have experienced tooth loss are able to have their smile restored with dental implants.
