Due to a number of circumstances, some out of our control, not all of us are able to brandish our natural smiles for the rest of our lives. But it's for these circumstances that our North Richland Hills, TX, dentist is able to offer a variety of treatment options for restoring our missing teeth, including dental implants. All the treatments available in the office have their own set of benefits and their application depends on individual cases, but in terms of appearance, functionality, and longevity, dental implants offer some clear advantages. Learn more about your options by contacting Dr. Anu of Precinct Line Dentistry.
On Support
The goal of dental implants is to be a permanent restoration so their approach is different from other treatments, and this difference has everything to do with how they are supported.
Our natural teeth are held at the root by our gums and bone tissue, so for a strong bond that will last a titanium post is implanted directly onto the bone of our jaw. Through a process called osseointegration the bone will heal around the implant, and though this initial phase can take months to complete the result is an unmatched bond.
Dental Implants in North Richland Hills, TX
Once the implant has healed an abutment will be attached to it, and onto this, a crown will be bonded, providing a tooth that even on close inspection looks natural, that doesn't require much in the way of special care beyond daily brushing and flossing, along with regular visits into our doctor's office. Restoring multiple teeth can be accomplished with implant-supported dentures, these don't require a one-to-one ratio of teeth restored to implants needed to support them and can solve many of the common complaints with traditional removable dentures.
