Dental implants replace missing teeth. The design of a dental implant – is designed based on a natural looking tooth. A natural tooth is one piece commonly described as having 2 main parts. One part is the crown that sits above the gums. The 2nd part is a root that sits securely inside your jaw bone. A dental implant treatment may involve several pieces however it may also be described as having 2 main parts. One part is a restoration that is custom fabricated to match the shape of a natural tooth crown – the 2nd part is the impant that replaces the function of a natural tooth root. Implants are made of titanium unlike most material our body normally accepts titanium without infection. Contact your local dentist or these dentists in Keller Tx for more information.

The first phase of implant treatment involves creating an opening in the jaw bone in preparation for the dental implant. The implant is then placed, followed by a healing cover. Depending on the implant system the gums may be sutured and a temporary denture is placed. The site immediately begins to heal – bone molecules begin to attach to the titanium surrounding the implants. It takes approximately 2 to 4 months for the bone to securely bond.
