Dental Implant Restorations in Arlington

When teeth fail, we are faced with gaps in our smile that affect our appearance and many oral functions. This can diminish our self-confidence and make eating and speaking a challenge. In the past, the only alternative for tooth loss was dentures. Dentures are limited in their ability to restore the aesthetics and utility of teeth.

Procedure of Dental Implant Restorations

Dental implant restorations offer the remarkable benefit of replacing a tooth root, as well as a tooth crown. Traditionally, tooth loss was only cosmetically treated with appliances that rest on top of the gums.

Dental implants consist of titanium posts that are placed into the jaw bone, and a porcelain crown is then attached to the post with an abutment. After an oral surgeon places the implant in the jaw bone, the post fuses to the jaw bone through osseointegration, which is a healing process that requires about a three months’ time. After the healing process is complete, Dr. Sabharwal will fabricate a custom abutment (which serves as your tooth) and an implant crown to restore your mouth to optimal function.

People can replace a single tooth, a row of teeth, or a full arch of teeth using dental implants. The prosthetic crowns can be matched to neighboring teeth, or for those receiving a full arch restoration, they can be custom made according to preferences in shape, size, and color.

Superior Benefits of Dental Implant Treatment for Tooth Loss

Unlike traditional tooth replacements that rely on adhesives to attach to gums, implants function exactly like a tooth root. There are many benefits to this, such as:

• The jaw bone does not atrophy because it continues to receive stimulation.
• Other teeth do not move out of alignment.
• Biting and chewing functions remain strong.
• No appliance is covering the palate, eliminating speech  issues
• The facial structure remains stable.
• Repeated adjustment of removable dentures is not necessary.
• There is no soreness of soft tissue caused by the rubbing of traditional dentures.
