Dental Implants in Missouri City, TX

If you have lost a tooth due to damage or decay, dental implants in Missouri City, TX, are an effective solution with long-term benefits, keeping your smile both healthy and functional.

Made Ya Smile uses titanium posts in addition to crowns, dentures, bridges, or other restorations to replace your missing teeth. Our experienced team offers complete, comprehensive solutions to patients in Missouri City, TX, with dental implants for tooth replacement. If you have lost a natural tooth, don't let it affect your quality of life, including the ability to speak and eat your favorite foods.

Many patients have found that there are several benefits to dental implants. Some of the most common benefits of dental inserts include:

• A long-term and effective option for replacing a tooth or teeth
• Look and function like natural teeth
• Provides stability for adjacent teeth
• Prevents further bone loss

Dental implants can replace one or more teeth in either the lower or upper arches of the mouth. Made Ya Smile uses implants as an effective tooth replacement solution that integrates directly into the jawbone, making it a permanent and durable option for patients who have missing or damaged teeth beyond repair. You may not be a candidate for dental implants; however, if you use tobacco products, have certain medical conditions or concerns, or are currently pregnant. More than that, dental implants require support from the bone in the jaw, so if you are suffering from bone loss, our dentist may need to perform a bone grafting procedure before moving forward. Once the post has integrated fully into the bone through a process called osseointegration, Made Ya Smile will create a custom restoration or dental appliance that securely attaches to the post. Our implant dentists can answer any questions you may have to help you decide if this is a good procedure option for you.

Single dental implants are an alternate option for missing teeth. When an implant post is situated in the jaw in the area where you've experienced tooth loss, your mouth will need time to mend with the bone. This process generally happens over a few months. A dental crown is then made to match the other teeth and will be securely attached to the implant post. With a single tooth implant, they can be placed in the front and back of the mouth.

There may be instances where multiple teeth are missing in the mouth. The implant dentist may recommend an implant bridge as a solution. It involves two or more custom crowns fused together to form one single appliance. The end posts of this appliance attach firmly to dental implants that have been placed in the jaw. If you need full mouth dental implants, an implant-supported denture may be a good option. This option attaches to two or more implants that have been inserted in specific areas within the lower and upper jaw.

Tooth loss can be a great concern for many since it affects your ability to bite, speak, and function with ease. If you have lost multiple or a full arch of a tooth, dental implants may be a sensible tooth replacement option. Our dentist also offers All-on-4® dental implants from Nobel Biocare® when teeth are damaged and need to be replaced.

Our staff will gladly review all of your options so your procedure and restorations will work with your requirements and budget.

Do dental implants last? 
Dental implants are unlike natural teeth. This means they cannot be harmed by dental diseases like decay, and they last a long time. It's important to remember, though, that the gum surrounding the implants is susceptible to dental disease.

Can my body reject dental implants?
For 95% of patients, dental implants are successful. However, dental implants can fail to integrate with the jawbone if an infection occurs — this is typically caused by a bad oral hygiene routine.

How many implants do I need? 
The number of implants you need depends on the number of missing teeth. However, two implants can support a removable lower denture, whereas four implants can support a full set of permanent teeth.
