Dental Implants

Dental Implant Overview: The Natural Solution

We want our natural teeth to last a lifetime. But injury, decay, disease, and other factors can cause premature tooth loss. When teeth are missing, it’s important to replace them to counteract the degenerative effects that occur with an incomplete smile. Dental implants provide a secure and long-lasting solution to replace missing teeth. They look and feel completely natural and are quickly becoming the preferred tooth replacement option for patients who want healthy, youthful-looking smiles. At Plano Smile Studio, implant dentist Dr. Hucklebridge partners with patients to achieve ideal smiles and whole-mouth health. He performs all facets of dental implant placement and restoration to deliver the service you want for the smile you deserve.

Anatomy of a Dental Implant

A natural tooth consists of a crown (the part you see) secured by a root (the part that extends below the gum line and attaches to the jawbone). Dental implants mimic this natural structure. A surgical-grade titanium post placed in the jaw serves as a new tooth root. A ceramic crown placed atop the root and secured via a support post replaces the part of the tooth that you see. Replacement teeth supported by dental implants mirror the form, function, and appearance of natural teeth. Dental implants can replace individual teeth and secure dentures, partials, and bridges. Whether you’re missing one tooth or many, dental implants from Dr. Hucklebridge, a premier dental implant dentist, can restore your smile and improve your quality of life.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

In addition to long-lasting strength, beauty, and durability, dental implants deliver the following benefits:

• You’ll maintain a strong, healthy jaw. When teeth are missing, jawbone structure deteriorates. Unlike other replacement tooth options, dental implants actually promote jawbone growth.
• Dallas dental implants support facial muscles and skin for a more youthful appearance. No more sunken cheeks and curled-in lips that make you look older.
• No diet restrictions – you can eat the foods you love.
• There’s no need for denture adhesive, and you’ll never experience slippage.
• You’ll speak clearly. Teeth play a crucial role in speech – an incomplete smile contributes to indistinct articulation.
• Existing teeth won’t drift out of position or wear prematurely.
• Bite alignment (the way top and bottom teeth fit together) is restored for comfortable function.
• A complete, healthy smile is vital to good overall health. Studies show that people with a full set of teeth live longer than those with incomplete smiles.
• Dental implant patients experience renewed confidence. They love to smile!
