What You Need To Know About Dental Implants

Dental implants are a natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. Your Baytown, TX, dentist, Dr. Matt Tabrizi at ProDental may recommend them to restore your smile.

They are made up of an artificial tooth root and a crown that is designed to look like a real tooth. Dr. Tabrizi places dental implants in a four-step procedure that involves the implant being embedded into the jawbone and fusing over a four to six-month period through a process known as osseointegration. You will wear a temporary crown while your permanent one is being custom-made. When your permanent crown is attached, you have a new tooth. Dental implants can be used to attach a bridge or dentures.

Dental implants are a popular tooth replacement option provided by your Baytown, TX, dentist. When one or more teeth are missing, Dr. Tabrizi may recommend dental implants to prevent further damage to surrounding teeth, stop remaining teeth from shifting, and improve oral health. These restorations are particularly appealing due to their ease of maintenance. They can be brushed and flossed like natural teeth and last a lifetime if you maintain good oral hygiene and visit our office for recommended checkups. Dental implants are durable and stable. That means you don't need to worry about them moving while eating, drinking, or speaking, resulting in a confidence boost.
