Dental Implants Solve a Lot of Problems
There’s nothing quite like the experience of losing a tooth. Biting and chewing food can become a problem, speaking properly can become difficult, and other teeth can begin to shift.
Fortunately, both the practical and emotional downsides of losing a tooth can be fixed in The Woodlands. Dental implants replace missing teeth with strong, secure, custom-made teeth.
All about dental implant options & Benefits
Of all the options for filling the gap left by a missing tooth, implant dentistry at Dr. Nikita Vakil’s office is the closest you can come to growing a new tooth. Consisting of a custom-made, custom-shaded restoration attached to a titanium rod secured in the jaw, the result of an implant is a replacement tooth that looks natural and performs as if it had always been there.
- Getting your smile back
- Restoring the ability to eat comfortably
- Preventing changes in face shape
- Keeping neighboring teeth in position
- Preserving jaw and gum health
- Protecting against bacteria
- Enjoying a permanent, comfortable solution
Another amazing thing about implants is that they actually prevent bone loss; the titanium rod provides the necessary stimulation the jaw loses when the natural root is removed.
Implant Retained Dentures
Implant dentistry has revolutionized the world of dentures by eliminating the need for messy adhesives and the concern about dentures slipping out of place while eating. Combining dentures with implant technology adds security and strength to a longstanding dental tradition.
All-On-4 and All-On-6
Depending on the individual situation, four or six titanium rods are secured into the strongest parts of the jaw and then allowed to heal. Once healed, the implant denture is secured into place, and the result is natural-looking teeth that will not slip out of place.
