Dental implants can be the right option if you’re missing a single tooth or all your permanent teeth. Implants are durable dental restorations. A single implant comprises a small titanium anchor, an attaching abutment, and a crown. Dental implants can secure a single dental crown, and multiple implants can secure dental bridges or dentures.
At Mill Creek Dental, we work with patients to find the right number of implants and the correct placement to restore the function and appearance of their teeth fully.
Dental Implants in Canton, TX
Before implant treatment, we ensure patients are healthy enough to undergo treatment. We may recommend treatments like periodontal therapy, root canals, or extractions if patients have decayed teeth or gums.
Our office may also recommend ridge augmentation or bone grafting services to ensure patients have sufficient jawbones for their dental implants in Canton, TX.
Once patients are healthy, we will take dental X-rays and digital images of the teeth, gums, and jaw to determine the best implant placement. Then, an oral surgeon will place the dental implants in the jaw bone beneath the gums.
The surgeon will also place a healing cap over the implants. Over a healing period of 3 to 6 months, the implant anchors or posts will fuse with the jaw bone. This process, called osseointegration, ensures the implants stay stable.
We will place the final restoration once the dental implants have fully healed. We take impressions to create custom-made restorations that feel natural. These restorations also use durable, tooth-colored materials to blend in with the shape and shade of natural teeth.
After you receive your implant-supported restoration, you can eat and speak naturally. Implants support teeth at the root, making your implants feel like natural teeth. Additionally, you can eat a wider variety of foods with implant-supported restorations because they restore full bite function and comfort.
