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
