Dental Implants
Burleson, Texas
Losing one or more teeth can change more than the appearance of your smile. It can change how you chew and how you speak, and over time, it can lead to changes in the structure of your jaw. That's because your natural tooth roots stimulate the jawbone and help maintain its density, and once they're gone, the underlying bone begins to shrink or resorb. Most patients don't realize how quickly that process starts or how significantly it can affect their long-term oral health.
At My Burleson Dentist, we offer dental implants, the gold standard for tooth replacement. Unlike bridges or removable dentures, dental implants replace missing tooth roots, preventing bone loss, restoring full function, and delivering beautifully lifelike results. We invite you to visit our Burleson practice to get started today.
Our Treatments
Implant dentistry done well is as close as it gets to having healthy, natural teeth.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts we surgically place into your jawbone to serve as replacement tooth roots. Over the following several months, the implants will integrate with the jawbone, a process known as osseointegration, providing a stable and secure foundation for one, several, or a complete arch of replacement teeth.
At My Burleson Dentist, we offer personalized implant solutions, including the following:
- Implant Crowns: A single titanium post topped with a custom crown can replace a missing tooth from the root to its crown, delivering results second only to healthy, natural teeth.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: These stable and durable restorations are designed to replace multiple missing teeth in a row, relying on two implant posts on either side of the gap for support.
- Removable Overdentures: An implant-supported overdenture relies on a few implants strategically placed in the jawbone for support, offering a more stable, functional, and durable alternative to traditional dentures, especially for the lower arch.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants are considered today's standard of care in tooth replacement. They offer many benefits, including the following:
- They look, feel, and function like natural teeth, enhancing your smile and your confidence.
- They replace your tooth roots, stimulating the jawbone, preventing bone loss, and supporting your facial structure.
- They restore function, allowing you to eat the foods you love without restriction and speak more clearly and confidently.
- They are easy to care for with regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits.
- They are a permanent tooth replacement solution designed to last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance.
What Is the Implant Placement Process?
Here's a look at what you can expect:
Planning Your Implant Process: We start by capturing CBCT 3D scans, which help us evaluate your jawbone density and quality, nerve pathways, sinuses, and more, allowing for precise treatment planning. CBCT imaging also helps us create surgical guides, significantly increasing the accuracy and precision of implant placement.
Bone Grafting If Needed: The jawbone begins to resorb fairly quickly after tooth loss, because it no longer receives the stimulation the root once provided. If you don't have enough bone to support your implant, we may recommend bone grafting to rebuild the area and provide the support needed for implant success.
Placing Your Implants: We numb the area and are happy to discuss our sedation dentistry options, if needed, for your comfort. Once the area is numb, we will place one or more implants, based on your unique needs.
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) Therapy: PRF, which is derived from your own blood, has a high concentration of growth factors that support tissue repair and bone regeneration. We apply PRF to the treatment area during implant placement, helping support healing, accelerating implant integration with the bone, and reducing complications.
Final Restoration: Once your implants have integrated with the jawbone, typically several months after placement, we will take digital impressions of your mouth to create your new custom crown, bridge, or overdenture. Your new replacement teeth are custom-crafted to closely match your natural teeth, delivering exceptional stability and function and restoring your beautifully natural smile.
