What Are Dental Implants?
Dealing with missing teeth is important to the overall wellness and appearance of the smile. To allow individuals to effectively move past extracted or lost teeth, Dr. Kenneth Haynes and Dr. Mance Cutbirth at Corpus Christi Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons are extremely happy to offer high-quality dental implants to accomplish tooth replacement. A fixed implant is a sturdy post that serves as an artificial tooth root. A custom crown, bridge, or denture can then be attached and take the place of the visible part of the missing tooth (or several teeth). If you have missing teeth or need a tooth removal, schedule a visit at our Corpus Christi, TX office and discover your dental implant alternatives.
What Is the Treatment Process?
The surgical approach for oral implants includes the careful placement of the implant and the securing of a natural-looking dental restoration (such as full-arch dentures, crowns, and bridges). As soon as the area is prepared for surgery, it will be dulled with local anesthesia. Oral-conscious or IV sedation may be available to allow you to feel more comfortable during your visit. The fixed implant will be surgically placed within your jawbone at the proper location and given a period of time to become one with the jaw through a phenomenon called osseointegration. When the treatment area has totally recovered (often at least 6 months afterward), a custom fixed crown, denture, or full-arch restoration will be placed.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants are usually preferred due to the vast number of advantages they offer. As an effective tooth replacement option, dental implants:
- May enhance your confidence when speaking and any time you show your teeth
- Allow for the adaptation of a diverse diet
- Will not rely on adjacent teeth for stability
- Effective as a long-term tooth replacement alternative
- Offer greater chewing strength and lifespan of tooth restorations
- Connect with the jawbone to maintain jaw well-being and structure
- Function like real teeth in performance and appearance
Dental Implants Reviews
Dr. Haynes is one of the best surgeons I have ever encountered in my 58 years of living. Performed bone implants on my uppers using my bone from my lower jaw. Amazing Doctor with integrity and outstanding care with virtually no pain at all or side affects. Awesome staff and by far, one of the best surgeons I have ever had. No infections, minimized pain, and great post treatment plan.
