Secure and Permanent Teeth Replacement in Richmond, TX

There are many reasons to replace missing teeth. An absent tooth or teeth is not only detrimental to your appearance, but missing teeth can also lead to problems with eating and speaking. Bone loss can even occur over time when you have missing teeth. While there are several methods for teeth replacement, one of the most optimal restorative dentistry treatments is dental implants.

A dental implant is a titanium post surgically inserted into the bone of your jaw. The implants act similarly to the roots of natural teeth. In the months following placement, your implants will integrate into the underlying bone, providing excellent stability. You can choose to have your replacements completed with natural-appearing crowns or dentures.

Crowns for Dental Implants

Dental implants are excellent for replacing lost teeth. However, the implant itself is only a titanium post. Implants need to be “topped” with a restoration or prosthetic to be complete. Crowns are usually the best choice for individual dental implants.

Our team at Haven Dentistry makes sure to match your new implant crown to your organic teeth. Your crown’s shape and color will blend in well with your other teeth for a natural and beautiful appearance.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Traditional dentures can sometimes suffer from slippage, especially when eating certain foods like corn-on-the-cob. Such slippage can be embarrassing and may cause you to avoid some of your favorite meals. Implant-supported dentures are the answer.

These dentures are anchored to dental implants, which are surgically inserted into the bone of your jaw. The result is a secure fit that won’t slip at inopportune times.

Implant-supported dentures require only a few dental implants for anchorage. You don’t need a dental implant for every single missing tooth. Instead, you can enjoy secure and stable dentures that look great with only minimal dental implants.

Our experienced, highly-trained dentists provide our dental implant services. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime and give outstanding function and appearance. To learn more, just contact Haven Dentistry in Richmond, TX.
