Dental Implants Dallas

Anyone who has lost their teeth will tell you that their missing teeth led to a decreased ability of their mouth functions (eating, talking), while also diminishing the aesthetic appeal of your smile and appearance. While there is a variety of dentalware to treat missing teeth, the preferred restorative device is dental implants.

Known for their toughness, durability, and comfort – dental implants are the closest you will get to a real tooth. Made from titanium, dental implants are prosthetic posts that are inserted into your jawbone where it will fuse with the surrounding tissue. Essentially, dental implants function as your tooth root, where they will serve as an anchor for replacement teeth, which may come in the form of crowns, bridges, or dentures.

Besides looking and feeling like part of a real tooth, dental implants have other advantages over other teeth replacement options. For one, you won’t need to grind down adjacent teeth as you would for a bridge; or attach a clasp or hook to adjacent teeth (causes teeth loosening) as you would with partial dentures.

There are a variety of dental implants available so an appointment with Dr. Daniel Hinckley at Family First Dentistry & Orthodontics is required to determine the best implant for your situation. Dr. Hinckley has extensive experience with dental implants so you can be sure knowing that you are in reliable hands.
