What is Dental Implant Surgery?

Dental Implant Surgery  – McKinney, TX

The Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth

For people looking for a permanent solution for missing teeth, dental implant surgery is the ultimate solution. It involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone to act as an anchor for a replacement tooth. During the surgical procedure, local anesthesia is used to numb the area and reduce discomfort during the operation. Afterward, a crown, bridge, or denture is secured onto the post, giving you a beautiful smile that looks and feels natural. At Pixel Dental in McKinney, our highly trained and experienced dental professionals can restore your smile with dental implant surgery that looks and functions like natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implant Surgery

Dental implants offer several advantages over traditional treatments such as bridges or dentures when it comes to replacing missing teeth. They’re more secure than other options since the titanium posts are anchored directly into your jawbone. As a result, you don’t need to worry about your replacement teeth slipping or falling out when eating or speaking- something common with bridges and dentures.
Additionally, with proper care and maintenance, an implant can last 25 years or more, making them the most durable long-term solution for restoring smiles! At Pixel Dental, our dentists understand how important it is to feel confident in your smile again. Hence, we strive to provide natural results while giving all these benefits!

The Process of Getting Dental Implants

Getting dental implants begins with an initial consultation. Our team will examine your mouth and determine your eligibility for this treatment. If so, we will create a customized treatment plan for you! After putting together an individualized plan for your new smile, our experienced oral surgeons will perform the implant surgery using advanced technology. They try to keep local anesthesia at minimum levels to ensure maximum comfort throughout the process. Once completed, we will craft custom crowns, bridges, or dentures specifically tailored to fit on top of your new implants. It perfectly matches up with your surrounding teeth creating a flawless finish!

Your Dental Implant Solutions

Dental implants can be used in a variety of restorative procedures, from single tooth replacements to full mouth reconstructions. Whether you’re missing one tooth or many teeth, there’s an implant option for you.

Single Tooth Dental Implant

A single dental implant can replace a missing tooth without having to use the surrounding teeth for support. It has three parts: the titanium implant post, the abutment that is attached to the top of the post, and the crown that connects to the abutment.

Implant Supported Bridge

An implant-supported bridge is an excellent way to replace three or more missing teeth. Bridges can usually be attached to one or two implants, depending on the size and location of the bridge.

Implant-Supported Overdenture

Our implant supported overdenture is a removable denture supported by implants. If you are a denture wearer or missing multiple teeth, this solution will solve your bite functionality and provide you with a long-lasting solution to your dental needs.
