Before the invention of dental implants, dentures were the only way to replace missing teeth. Thanks to modern medicine, however, we now have a more effective way to restore them. Weatherford Dental Care specializes in dental implant services and more. Call us

What Are Dental Implants?
Implants are synthetic structures that are placed in the area of the tooth normally occupied by the tooth's root. Implants are anchored to the jawbone or the metal framework on the bone and become the foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge. Sometimes, implants can be used to attach dentures.
Not everyone happens to be a candidate for a dental implant. For an implant to be successful, the patient must have the proper bone density along with a strong immune system. In any and all cases, dental implants require proper oral hygiene.
Implants mimic the look and feel of natural teeth and are usually made of a synthetic, yet biocompatible material like ceramic or metal.
The Procedure
Surgery is required to prepare the area for an implant so it can be placed in the mouth. After the procedure, a period of time is required for the implant to take hold along with the bone tissue to build up and anchor the device.
In some cases, metal posts can be inserted into the implant during a follow-up procedure to connect the tooth. Because implants require surgery, patients are administered anesthesia and, if necessary, antibiotics to prevent infection following the procedure.
Like any restoration, implants require dedicated oral hygiene and proper care to ensure they last for many years.
