Dental Implants Keep Your Smile Whole

Dental Implants Keep Your Smile Whole

Dental implants are your best bet to permanently and effectively renew your smile and fill in the gaps from your missing teeth. However, do you know what dental implants can do for you? Learn more about dental implants with Dr. Rick Larson in Coppell, TX.

What are dental implants? 
Dental implants are a tooth replacement option to fill in your gaps. Dental implants are completely permanent, non-removable and natural looking. The implant’s fixture is a small post that is placed in the jawbone under your missing tooth. Once implanted into the bone, the bone grows around the fixture to hold it permanently in place.

Caring For Your Dental Implants
A strong oral-care routine and a commitment to seeing your dentist regularly are all it takes to keep your dental implants and natural teeth healthy. However, doing these things properly is equally as important. Brush twice daily for at least two minutes. Floss once a day using a long enough strand of floss to use a new section between each tooth. This helps lower the risk of transferring bacteria from tooth to tooth. Finally, see your dentist at least twice a year. Regular cleanings and examinations give your dentist the chance to catch problems early and perform any necessary maintenance to your implants.

Dental Implants in Coppell, TX 
Dental implants are not a single-visit process. Normally, dental implants take two phases from start to finish. The first phase involves a consultation with your dentist, preparation of your mouth to receive the implants, and the actual implant placement. The healing process takes several months, during which time the implants will fully integrate into your jawbone. Phase two takes place after the healing process and involves attaching your new prosthetic teeth to your implanted fixtures.
