Although there is no novelty in the concept and use of dental implants, dental technology can still amaze us in terms of results. In today’s dental implant procedure, your Houston TX cosmetic dentist can do root replacement to append a new crown and you can hardly notice a difference between natural tooth and dental implant.
Dental implant is good news to individuals who have lost both baby tooth and permanent tooth. They can flash perfect smiles and enjoy the benefits of having complete set of teeth without the need to wear dentures and worry about the inconveniences or unnatural appearance of such. Furthermore, dental implants are fairly safe from gum diseases and decay, giving more reasons to smile health-wise.
The key to successful dental implants is cooperation between the patient and the dental team. The dental team consists of a dentist or cosmetic dentist, dental technician, and implant surgeon. Like most dental treatments, your dental team should be highly experienced and proficient in surgical placement and fabrication of crown as well as in planning all the necessary procedures.
While there is obviously science in dental implants, there is also art in it. For about three decades, designs of dental implants have been improving. Before, dental implants have the same width and circumference and vary only in length. Now, they are made in various widths. The surface also improved from polished and smooth to nanotech, acid etched sandblasted. Both advancements paved the way for better bone to implant connection.
Lastly, dental implant designs were also developed for the sake of aesthetics. Enhanced implant to crown connections made the teeth appear natural. Materials used are basically similar to regular crowns to mimic a tooth’s original appearance, function and durability.
