Patients having missing teeth commonly feel
self-conscious about the appearance of their mouth, but tooth loss is not
merely a cosmetic issue. If not treated well and in time, missing teeth can
cause expensive and irreversible damage—including bone loss, periodontal disease
and receding gums.
In order to prevent these complications and
restore an improved cosmetic appearance, many patients opt for dental implants
which allow them to attain a beautiful smile, improved self-esteem and flawless
functionality. Also when the dental implants are placed by the Best Dentist they are much
durable and can last a lifetime. Having many years of experience and
exceptional technical expertise, our dentists are skilled at addressing all
your dental concerns related to missing teeth and preventing long-term
complications. Having helped countless patients attain a beautiful,
natural-looking smile Pinnacle Dental is recognized for delivering the best
dental implants in Plano.
An Overview of Dental Implants
Dental implant surgery comprises of two
stages and involves an oral surgeon as well as a restorative dentist. Choosing
your implant surgeon is the most important decision you will make during your
journey to restoring a full set of functioning teeth. The visible outcome of
this whole process is the teeth that will eventually crown your implants but it
is the quality of the implants and the expertise with which the whole procedure
has been carried out that decides the success of the surgery.
Knowing the implants is the most crucial
phase of the restoration procedure, our dentists are meticulous in their
preparations and placement methods. The whole process of placing dental
implants into the living tissue of the bone needs precise knowledge of the
nerves and blood vessels that interact with bone as well as the impact dental
implants will have on the patient’s sinuses. Our Dentist will place thin titanium posts along the jawline
where the teeth are missing during the first stage of the procedure. These
metal posts are the actual dental implants. Acting as root substitutes, they
eventually bond to the bone to become a permanent part of the mouth creating a
strong base for artificial teeth.
This whole procedure of placing dental
implant may require many sessions depending on individual need. You will be
made comfortable through anesthesia during surgery which the dentist will have
discussed with you during your pre-surgery consultation. The surgery can be
made convenient and short by choosing the best anesthesia and possibly intravenous
sedation if needed.
You will have partial or full dentures before
removal of any existing teeth. You can wear these dentures over the implants
while they heal so you can eat and socialize normally. At our Dentist clinic, dental implants
are not placed until our dentist is confident that they are fully healed. After
a period of almost three to six months, the metal anchors will have
successfully bonded to the bone and the second stage of dental implant surgery
will be initiated. Your restorative dentist will create and place the
artificial teeth at this point and your beautiful and functional new smile will
be the ultimate outcome.
