Dental Implants
Dr. Hanna Lindskog on dental implants
Read Transcript
A dental implant is for a patient that is missing one or more teeth. There's a variety of ways implants can be utilized. An implant can be utilized for someone who's missing a single tooth, and they want to replace that tooth to be able to have that aesthetic result, as well as be able to chew normally. There are also people who use implants with multiple missing teeth, and you can place a bridge on the implants. Additionally, implants can be used to support dentures, so that patients don't have to worry about dentures falling out. Many patients are surprised about how little pain is involved in getting a dental implant placed. I've had numerous patients tell me that getting the implant placed was actually a lot less painful than having the tooth taken out.
Dr. Juarez and Dr. Lindskog offer several implant options right here in our Houston, TX dentist office to fit your specific needs and goals!
The Advantages Of Dental Implants
Compared to other tooth replacement options, dental implants feel, look, and function more like your natural teeth.
Because dental implants replace the roots of missing teeth, they also help prevent bone and tissue loss, helping you look younger!
Your Dental Implant Options
No matter your situation, we have dental implant solutions for you. Following placement, we can restore your dental implants with:
- Dental crowns
- Dental bridges
- Implant-retained or implant-supported full or partial dentures
We can even combine dental implants and other restorative dentistry options for a comprehensive full-mouth reconstruction!
Advanced Dental Technology For Precise Restorations
To ensure your dental implant restoration is precisely made, our Houston, TX dentist office uses the state-of-the-art iTero intraoral scanner.
Compared to traditional impression techniques, which often require messy putties, the iTero offers a much more comfortable experience for our patients. We will wave a small wand over the area of your mouth we are treating while you relax in one of our patient chairs.
Because the iTero scanner provides such precise information, your restorations will require less, if any, adjustment!
Dental Sedation & Comfort Options During Your Dental Implant Procedure
No matter the dental implant procedure you receive, we will make sure you are comfortable. If you suffer from dental anxiety, we will help relieve it with dental sedation options. We also have headphones and personal movie glasses equipped with Netflix to entertain and distract you.
