\"dental<\/a>Dental implants are by far the best tooth replacement option available today. Nothing else provides a comprehensive solution to tooth loss, providing you with a new tooth as well as its root. Other options will give you back the crown — but without a prosthetic root, your replacement tooth may fit poorly in the mouth, and your jawbone will slowly degenerate due to a lack of necessary stimulation.

All About Your Dental Implants <\/span><\/h2>\n

Dental implants provide the ultimate in stability for your new tooth replacement. They\u2019re tiny posts made of titanium that are surgically implanted into the space left by each missing tooth. Once the implants have been placed, the recovery begins — but the procedure isn\u2019t complete. Over a period of approximately six months, the implants will gradually bond with the jawbone. This process, also known as osseointegration, is what makes dental implants so sturdy in the mouth. At the end of the recovery period, your dental implants are fully anchored in the jaw. Next, you\u2019ll have the tops of the implants exposed, an abutment attached to connect the prosthetic to the implant — and you\u2019re ready for the restoration phase of the dental implant procedure. <\/span><\/p>\n

Dental Implant Restoration<\/span><\/h3>\n

After your dental implants are fully anchored within the mouth and once your gums have healed from their exposure, you\u2019ll come back to 21st Century Dental of Irving for the restoration of the implants, or when your implant dentist in Irving prepares for the crown(s), bridge or denture to be attached on top. We\u2019ll take careful impressions and images of your dental implants and your oral structures for the creation of your prosthetic device.
