Dental Implants
Rebuild Your Smile! North Dallas, TX Dental Office
Patients may seek out tooth replacement options for one more multiple missing teeth for many reasons that range from trauma or infection to gum disease or needed dental extraction. Without a tooth root to anchor the jaw bone, it will start to recede and deteriorate over time, often resulting in further tooth loss. Also, patients with missing teeth may suffer from nutritional deficiencies and a diminished sense of self-confidence, both of which negatively impact life quality. Fortunately, there is a solution to missing teeth that solves all of these problems: dental implants.
At Loftus Family Dentistry, we are proud to offer dental implants to help our patients achieve and maintain excellent oral health.
Restorative Implant Dentistry in Dallas
Over the past decade, dental implants have rapidly become the preferred restorative dental solution for patients who are missing one or more teeth. A dental implant is a small, biocompatible titanium post placed in the empty socket where a natural tooth once stood. During the recovery period following implant surgery, the post becomes fused with the jawbone for unparalleled structural integrity and stability. This process is called osseointegration, and it aids in the preservation of healthy bone tissue in the jaw.
Unlike removable dental prosthetics like dentures, dental implants are securely anchored within the bone of the jaw. Following placement of the implant itself, a customized, life-like replacement tooth is fabricated for you, and Dr. Loftus affixes it to the post. This completes your restoration, allowing you to speak once again, chew, and smile with natural comfort and confidence.
Dental implants look, feel, and work just like natural teeth. No one will be able to tell the difference or that you've had dental work.
