If you are missing teeth, dental implants can
rejuvenate your smile and rebuild your confidence. At Aesthetic Plus, we can
surgically position thedental implants and then place the restorations.
Patients can receive all of their implant care in our Plano, TX office. Dr. Corey Nguyen has performed many implant surgeries, so if you think you might be a good candidate for
implants, he will assess your situation and advise you on the best treatment
course.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are made up of two parts, just like
natural teeth. There's an implant post that functions like as a man-made tooth root, and
there's a restoration placed on top that looks just like a real tooth. The
restoration could be a single crown, a bridge, or a full denture supported by
multiple implant posts.
What makes implants preferable to
other tooth replacements?
First, dental implant posts are fabricated from biocompatible titanium, so after
the implants are placed, a patient's jawbone integrates with the posts.
This creates a very secure anchor for whatever prosthetic Dr. Nguyen attaches to the
implant. Dental implants look and function like natural teeth, which means they offer
more stability and comfort than dentures.
The dental implant process begins with surgical placement of titanium posts
that act as prosthetic tooth roots. After the implanted posts are stable, we
will adhere the beautiful, natural-looking crowns. You'll be amazed with the
function, feel, and appearance of your new smile.
