What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small, screwlike post that serves as an artificial tooth root. When combined with an abutment, a small connector piece, and crown, it can replicate an entire tooth, from root to crown. Dental implants are typically made out of titanium. At Stephens and Gatewood Dentistry in Spring, we offer both traditional and mini implants as well as titanium and tooth-colored zirconia abutments.
Dental Implants Are Versatile Whether You Are Missing One Tooth or Many
Dental implants paired with restorations are prized for being the closest thing currently possible to having your natural teeth back. Among the restorations we offer at Stephens and Gatewood Dentistry in Spring:
If you are missing one tooth, an implant topped with a single crown beautifully restores your smile. The alternative, a traditional bridge, unfortunately requires altering neighboring healthy teeth.
If you are missing two or several teeth in a row, an implant-supported bridge can fill the gap. Because the implants support the bridge, neighboring teeth do not need to be altered using this method.
People wearing dentures quickly realize the benefits implant-supported dentures offer. Secured in place by implants, these dentures will never slip and embarrass you. You'll also have a much stronger bite.
Will I Have to Go Without Teeth During Treatment?
No. In most cases, we can offer immediate placement of new teeth on the same day you receive your dental implants. However, in some cases, these will be temporary restorations and you will need to return for your permanent crown, bridge, or denture. If you get a denture that requires just four or five implants, we can likely place your permanent denture on the same day, even if you are also having teeth extracted.
