If you are in the Frisco, Irving, Plano, TXarea, you have access to one of the greatest advances in modern dentistry. Dental implants have changed the way we replace missing teeth, with long-term results that look, feel, and function like your own dentition
In the past, if you wanted to replace a missing tooth, you choose a bridge or denture. These are sound solutions, but they only replace the crown of the tooth – the part that shows above the gumline. Without a root, bone diminishes. Eventually, that affects facial appearance.
A tooth implant replaces the root of the missing tooth; then the crown. The implant is a small screw-shaped device made of biocompatible material. It is inserted into jawbone at the location of the missing tooth. Over time, bone integrates with the implant. This forms a solid foundation for an abutment, a post that is topped with a porcelain dental crown.
A dental implant is the only tooth replacement technique that restores appearance and oral function, while helping to preserve bone.
Dr. Kolli can replace a single missing tooth in this manner, or multiple teeth in either arch.
Dental implants are titanium roots, that are replaced with in the jawbone to resemble a tooth or group of teeth. A screw is inserted through the gums and into the jawbone. A porcelain crown is then attached to the screw to become the new tooth or teeth. They can be used to support dental prosthesis including crowns, dentures, and bridges. Today’s treatments are so natural looking, no one will know you had surgery. There’s approximately a 95% success rate for all implants. With modern advances in dentistry, some implants can be restored immediately with life like all porcelain crowns. For more details ask your dentist.
