What Are Dental Implants?
A lost tooth is more than just an aesthetic problem — the gap left behind by one or more missing teeth can significantly impact your overall oral health. For individuals dealing with missing teeth in Kingwood, TX, Stellenwerf Dental Studio is excited to offer a long-lasting solution: dental implants. A dental implant is composed of a titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth root. A specially crafted dental crown, bridge, or denture fills in for the erupted part of the lost tooth (or teeth). If you suffer from missing teeth or require an extraction, set up an appointment with Dr. Viviana Stellenwerf at our practice and learn more about the benefits of dental implants.
What Is the Treatment Process?
Dental implant treatments are done in two stages. The first stage involves the placement of the metal implant into your jawbone, which is done with surgery. Depending on the scope of your implant surgery, we will use local anesthesia or IV sedation to keep you comfortable and at ease during the procedure. Once the titanium post is in place, you'll need to wait a few months for it to fuse with the jawbone (a process called osseointegration). Once your mouth has healed, you'll return to our office in Kingwood, TX so we can set your replacement tooth. At Stellenwerf Dental Studio, we offer dental implants in the form of crowns, bridges, and full-mouth dentures.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Whether you are replacing a single tooth or rebuilding your entire mouth, dental implants offer a variety of benefits, including:
- Are similar to normal teeth in function and appearance
- Serve as a long-lasting option for dental restoration
- Fit securely in the mouth
- Allow you to comfortably eat the foods you enjoy
- Improve confidence when you're eating, speaking, or smiling
- Provide structure for the jawbone
Stellenwerf Dental Studio Reviews
Best dentist I’ve been to in a while. Dr. Stellenwerf is excellent!
I never write reviews, but I just have to for Dr. Vivian. I used to absolutely hate going to the dentist—it gave me so much anxiety, and I’d avoid it as long as I could. But meeting her has totally changed that. She’s seriously amazing! Dr. Vivian is the sweetest person ever. She makes you feel so comfortable, like you’re just chatting with a friend instead of sitting in a dentist’s chair. She always takes the time to explain what’s happening and checks in to make sure you’re okay, which is such a relief for someone like me who used to be terrified of dental visits. The whole vibe of her office is so calming and friendly—it’s not cold or intimidating like other places I’ve been. And her staff? Literally the nicest people. They make the process so easy, and everyone is so welcoming that it almost feels like you’re hanging out instead of doing something you used to dread. If you’re scared of the dentist or just haven’t found someone you really trust, you have to go to Dr. Vivian. She’s seriously a game-changer, and I actually don’t mind going to the dentist now—like, who even am I?!
Dr.Viviana and her team did a great job on my teeth cleaning. Super helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.
Great experience! love that I found a new dentist that is welcoming and knowledgeable.
I received the best service from the Stellenwerf Dental Studio I have ever received from a medical practitioner. After breaking a tooth, they were able to see me on short notice, diagnose the problem, refer me to an oral surgeon, and provide me with a temporary replacement in less than four days. I’m very grateful for the services provided and highly recommend Drs Stellenwerf.
