Dental Implants

in Garland, TX

Dental implants are replacement tooth roots. They are small posts made from highly biocompatible materials (titanium) that are surgically placed into the jawbone. Dental implants fuse with the bone to provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth. After the implant has connected to the bone, an abutment (support post) is attached to the implant. The abutment supports one or more replacement teeth, called crowns.

During the initial appointment, the dentist in Garland, TX will first complete a dental exam and determine whether the patient is a good candidate for dental implants. If the patient does have good oral health and sufficient bone structure to support the implant, the dentist may proceed with surgery. Dental implants require surgery to have the implant placed. The dentist can then attach a temporary restoration to the implant, such as a temporary dental crown.


During the healing period, the patient will need to practice proper oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing, to avoid complications or infection. Once the implant site is healed and the jawbone fuses around the implant, the patient returns for the next dental appointment. The dentist will carefully place an abutment and secure the final restoration to the abutment, thus resulting in a healthy tooth.

All-On-4 Implants

All-on-4 is a dental implant procedure where four implants are placed into the jawbone. These implants can hold your dentures securely in place. This helps eliminate problems such as slipping, clicking, and shifting. In turn, this makes your dentures more comfortable.


All-on-4 implants are an affordable, permanent solution for tooth loss. It is ideal for those who have lost most or all of their teeth. The procedure involves placing four implants, which are screw-like posts made of titanium, into the patient’s jaw line. These implants fuse to the bone over time. Once the implants have fused, the denture is attached.

Mini Implants

Mini Dental Implants are small titanium implants that anchor your missing tooth to restore its form and function. They are made from the same materials as traditional single-tooth dental implants and can support fixed crowns, bridgework, or dentures.

Though mini dental implants are smaller in size than traditional dental implants, they still offer the same results.

 

Unlike traditional dental implants, mini implants consist of a screw instead of a metal post. The screw is tightened into the patient's gum tissue directly into the jawbone and hence, doesn't involve the need for stitches. They are placed into the jawbone via a pinhole or in the empty socket of the lost tooth. Besides, when traditional tooth implants come in two pieces, mini implants are a single unit.
