Dental Implants in Frisco, TX

At Spectacular Smiles, dental implants are the best way to replace missing teeth because they are a permanent solution and look and act just like natural teeth. The implant is made from a titanium post that fuses with the jawbone, creating a stable foundation for the replacement tooth to be placed on. The implants will look, feel, and function like natural teeth. In addition to improving a patient’s appearance by filling in gaps from missing teeth, dental implants can improve speech and prevent teeth from shifting out of place.

How Do Dental Implants Work?

Dental implants have three parts: the implant, the abutment, and the restoration. The implant is a small titanium post surgically placed beneath the gum line into the jawbone. Over time, the bone in the jaw will grow around the and fuse to the implant through a process called osseointegration. This creates a stable foundation for the crown that will be affixed to it.

The implant functions like a tooth root, stimulating the bone around it to remain healthy and strong. This not only helps maintain good oral health but also ensures that the surrounding teeth remain healthy as well. When multiple teeth are replaced with an implant-supported bridge or denture, they will all benefit from having a strong and healthy foundation.

After the area has completely healed and the implant is secure in the jaw, we will fit it with a natural-looking restoration that will blend seamlessly with your smile. This can be a crown for a single tooth or a dental bridge for replacing a few teeth in a row. We will ensure that it fits properly and looks natural.

The Advantages of Dental Implants
