Dental Implants IN CORPUS CHRISTI

Dental implants are a great way to replace both single and multiple missing teeth. For single tooth replacement, one dental implant is placed directly into the jawbone and a crown is screwed on top of the implant. The implant holds the crown securely in place, allowing for normal eating, speaking, and beautiful esthetics.

Depending on your needs, multiple missing teeth can be replaced with implants. These implants are then used to create bridges, overdentures, or fixed full-arch prosthesis. These prosthetics are designed to support the strength of natural teeth, allowing for more natural functioning in the mouth. Implant-supported solutions provide greater stability than the removable alternative, making them a popular choice for people looking to replace their missing teeth.

Am I A Candidate for Implants?

You may be missing a tooth or multiple teeth and wondering if you are a good candidate for dental implants. The good news is that most people meet the requirements to be able to receive an implant supported tooth replacement.

You also may be a good candidate for dental implants if:

1) You have good, stable general and oral health

2) You have adequate bone in your jaw to support the implant

3) You have healthy gum tissues that are free of periodontal disease

Dental implants are intimately connected with the soft tissues (gums) and underlying bone in the mouth. Since periodontists have had three years of specialized training beyond dental school to make them experts on both soft and hard tissues, they have the ideal combination of experience and knowledge to make sure you get a dental implant solution that looks and feels like your own teeth. Depending on your specific condition and the type of implant chosen, your periodontist will create a treatment plan tailored to meet your needs.

After you’ve received your implant, your periodontist and dentist will work closely with you to develop the best care plan for you. Periodic follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor your implant, teeth and gums to make sure they are healthy.
