Dental Implants Provide Permanent Smile Restorations to Richardson, TX Patients at New Smile P.A.
(PRBuzz.com) January 25, 2013 -- Missing teeth can be problematic for many reasons, including having an effect on your oral health and your confidence. They can induce jaw misalignment, bone deterioration, and accelerate tooth decay. There are many restorations that can serve as a replacement for missing teeth, but the prosthetic that provides New Smile P.A. patients with the most realistic results are dental implants. Dental implants are a standalone restoration that provides Dr. Dawn Wu's Richardson, TX patients with a tooth that has a natural look and feel.
Dental implants provide a solution that is practical and attractive. They look and function just like a real tooth, filling in the gaps in your smile. This permanent solution is convenient in that there is no need to adjust your eating and brushing habits. They also don't require the support of other teeth and there is no worry that they will slip and fall out of place. New Smile P.A. provides dental implants to their patients in order to provide them with a restorative that is very similar to a natural tooth.
The implant is placed through a surgical procedure that places the bottom of the implant directly into the jawbone. The visible component of the implant is attached to this piece after the jawbone has completely healed. This roots the implant in place and allows patients to eat, speak, and smile comfortably. The healing period takes three to six months, allowing time for the jawbone to naturally form around the implant. During this period, patients are given temporary crowns. After the base of the implant and jawbone are healed, the customized restoration can be placed into the patient's mouth. This leaves Richardson, TX patients with a smile that is complete and gap-free.
Sometimes patients have gaps that are too narrow or they already have dentures, but find that they tend to slip out of place. For these patients, Dr. Dawn Wu recommends mini implants. Mini implants require less recovery time, are less invasive, and can help hold dentures in place. Dr. Dawn Wu has provided many patients in the Richardson, TX area with full dental implants and mini implants.
