Dental implants are a great way to take on missing teeth, as they look and act like natural teeth. But did you know that for some, we could place and restore these in only one sitting? In today’s blog, your Celina, TX, dentist talks about securing our same-day dental implants, so you can leave our office after one visit with a full and beautiful smile!
The Importance of Treating Tooth Loss
Whether you have one missing tooth or have lost several, you need to see our team for treatment. Replacing your missing teeth helps prevent issues eating and speaking, and helps you avoid the onset of dental misalignment, itself a source of tooth decay and gum disease. You can also feel more confident in your appearance and enjoy a better quality of life. You also preserve your smile and keep your youthful facial features intact! This is because as we lose teeth, the body will stop sending doses of calcium and phosphorus to the jawbone around the missing tooth. Without these nutrients, the jaw erodes to cause further tooth loss and an older appearance. But we can stimulate jawbone growth and keep your smile intact with the placement of dental implants!
Placing Your Dental Implants
First, we will examine your smile with digital imaging technology, which allows our team to choose the best angle, position, and depth to insert the implant posts. These are made from biocompatible titanium, so the body accepts them as new roots and bonds with them, keeping your smile strong and allowing your new teeth to last decades or even a lifetime with proper care and attention. Our team will numb your smile and offer sedation to ensure you are relaxed and comfortable as we insert these new roots into your jaw.
Attaching Crowns and Dentures
In the past, there was a period of months between the placement of your new roots and the attachment of the restoration or prosthetic, as the jawbone needed to heal first. But! For some patients we can complete the rest of the process in the same visit. We will attach abutments to the post and then connect a crown to complete a single missing tooth. If you have more advanced cases of tooth loss, we can use several posts to secure a bridge or a fixed set of dentures, so you leave with a full smile.
