Dental Implants – Trophy Club, TX

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts that mimic the function of natural tooth roots, preventing bone loss in the area and enhancing your oral health. They provide a stable and secure foundation to anchor fixed and removable implant restorations designed to look like your natural teeth.

Currently, dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. The procedure is safe and highly predictable, with an over 95 percent success rate. With proper care, your implant restorations can last a lifetime!

The Dental Implant Process

We will start by surgically placing the titanium implant into the jawbone. The area will take a few months to heal, during which the implant will fuse to the bone in a process called osseointegration. After healing, we will place a connector known as an abutment, wait for the soft tissue to heal, then take impressions of the area to create your implant restoration.

The last step of the implant procedure is placing a dental crown, an implant-supported bridge, or an implant-retained denture to restore your healthy, functional smile. We may provide you with temporary restorations during the waiting period, so you don’t go without teeth a single day.

The entire implant process will take several months, most of which involves waiting for healing. However, the stunning results are well worth the time and effort!

Who Dental Implants Can Help

If you have a gap in your smile, you may want to consider dental implant restorations, the best alternatives to healthy, natural teeth. Whether you've lost a single tooth, several teeth, or an entire arch of teeth, Genuine Smiles of Trophy Club will restore your healthy, confident smile with one of the following options.

Missing Single Tooth

A dental crown placed on a dental implant will replace a single tooth and restore its function. Your restoration will look incredibly natural and will last much longer than a dental bridge.

Missing Multiple Teeth

A traditional dental bridge is secured to surrounding natural teeth to restore a gap in your smile. An implant-supported bridge, on the other hand, is attached to implants, leaving you with unmatched comfort, stability, and reliability.

Missing All Teeth

Implant dentures are oral prosthetic devices that replace an entire arch of teeth in the upper or lower jaw. They are secured to a number of strategically placed dental implants, providing reliable, secure, and long-lasting function.

Understanding the Cost of Dental Implants

Since there are many factors to consider, it’s difficult to give an exact cost for your dental implant treatment. For example, the number of implants you need will largely affect the total cost, as well as the type of restoration. If you need preparatory treatments, including a bone graft or sinus lift, to become eligible for implants, these procedures will affect the total cost as well.

Even if your treatment comes at a high price, it’s important to consider the fact that despite this, dental implants are still regarded as the most cost-effective solution for tooth loss. This is because they don’t require the same level of maintenance as other solutions, nor do they require replacement as often. In fact, proper care can dramatically increase your chances of making them last a lifetime.
