MISSING: Teeth

 

For a patient who is missing one or more permanent teeth, our Texas dentists may recommend dental implants in Athens, TX. A dental implant is a restoration that replaces both the missing tooth and its root. A dental implant is made up of a titanium post, which fuses with the jawbone, and a dental restoration, like a dental crown or bridge.

What can dental implants do for you?


– Improve your appearance and self-esteem
– Improve your speech
– Allow you to eat properly
– Improve your comfort
– Improve your oral health
– Provide a durable replacement for a lost tooth.

 

Can anyone get dental implants?


To have dental implants placed, you should have healthy gums and enough jawbone structure to support the implant. In addition, you must be committed to proper oral hygiene and regular dental appointments. There are other things to consider as well. Talk to our dentists to see if dental implants are right for you.

How do I care for my dental implants?


Care for your dental implants the same way that you care for your natural teeth. Brush them twice a day and floss them once a day, along with your natural teeth. Rinse with an antibacterial mouthwash. Be sure to visit one of our Allen Dentistry locations at least twice a year for your professional teeth cleaning.
