Obtain Natural-Looking Dental Implants at The Woodlands Dentistry & Orthodontics
Why Should You Have A Dental Implant Surgery?
There's something quietly strong about a whole smile. It boosts your self-confidence, makes everyday life simpler, and allows you to feel more at ease. If a tooth is missing, though, it's not just your smile that's altered. Your bite is changed. Your speech can be changed. Even the small pleasure of enjoying a favorite food is altered.
Implant surgery is not just a surgery. It's a practice in restoration. It restores the appearance and function that were lost, making you whole again. The Woodlands Dentistry & Orthodontics offers dental implants to provide patients with a stable, long-term solution for missing teeth. Bridges and dentures aren't like implants. They become a part of your body. They attach to your natural bone to form a stable, long-lasting base for your teeth.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
Dental implants are titanium posts placed into your jawbone that serve as artificial “tooth roots,” permanently securing your new tooth, bridge, or denture. Each implant is topped with a dental crown, providing a functional chewing surface while restoring the appearance of the missing tooth. Modern tooth restoration has never been more effective!
At The Woodlands Dentistry and Orthodontics, we offer advanced same-day dental crowns, meaning our doctors can create and place your custom crown in just one visit to our office! This streamlined process ensures you leave with a restored, natural-looking smile without the need for multiple appointments.
Why Dental Implants are Often the Best Solution for Tooth Loss
Look Natural
You don’t want a replacement tooth that looks fake, as it could draw more negative attention to your smile than a missing tooth. Dental implants are designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, giving you a seamless, natural-looking smile.
Don’t Hurt
A replacement tooth should feel comfortable, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without irritation to your gums or adjacent teeth. Once healed, dental implants offer a pain-free, permanent solution that feels just like your natural teeth.
Are Easy to Take Care of
Dental implants are permanent, eliminating the need for slipping dentures or removable bridges. You can care for your implants just like your natural teeth, with regular brushing and flossing to keep them clean and healthy.
Keep Your Mouth Healthy
Unlike bulky dental appliances that can cause irritation, bone loss, and increase the risk of periodontal disease or tooth decay, dental implants fit perfectly into your smile. They help protect your jaw and gums, maintaining the overall health of your mouth.
Can Last a Lifetime
Dental implants are designed to last for the rest of your life. No other tooth replacement option offers the same long-term durability and reliability as dental implants.
What Type of Dental Implant Do I Need?
Single Dental Implant
If you’ve lost a single tooth due to decay or trauma, a single dental implant can restore your smile and confidence. A titanium dental implant, topped with a natural-looking dental crown, replaces both the root and surface of your lost tooth.
This dental implant will function just like your natural tooth, allowing you to smile, speak, and enjoy your favorite foods with ease and comfort!
Implant Retained Dentures
All-on-4® Dental Implants
With All-On-4 dental implants (also known as "Teeth-in-a-Day"), your dental implants are securely stabilized with a prosthesis that allows you to use your teeth immediately. This permanent solution is not removable.
If you are a good candidate for All-On-4 dental implants, you can expect to have your restored teeth in just one day! While everyone's case is unique, the majority of the work will be completed by our doctors and our restorative dentistry team at The Woodlands Dentistry and Orthodontics in The Woodlands, TX before your implant surgery.
Hybrid Implant Dentures
How Do I Prepare for My Dental Implants Treatment?
Sometimes, patients need preliminary procedures to prepare their mouths for dental implants. After a consultation, our doctors may determine that you require one of the following procedures before receiving your dental implants:
- Bone Graft
- Gum Graft
- Socket Preservation
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Losing teeth not only hurts your bite but also the structure of your jaw, the look of your face, and the way you eat and speak. Implants are a permanent option that allows you to regain control.
The following are the reasons why patients from the Woodlands, TX, prefer implants:
Stable and secure: No shifting or annoyance like dentures.
Improve chewing ability: Chew your favorite foods comfortably and without worry.
Increase self-confidence: Enjoy a natural-looking smile that's all yours.
Shield neighboring teeth: No grinding down of good teeth, like with bridges.
Dental implants are more than a smile. They replace everyday comfort, freedom, and self-confidence.
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?
- Bone quality, quantity, and location: If you require bone grafting, the overall cost of your implant procedure may increase.
- The number of teeth needing replacement and the type of dental implant: These factors will affect the overall cost.
- Dental insurance: Some insurance plans cover only portions of implant treatment, while others may have a waiting period for eligibility.
