Find long term tooth replacement in Fort Worth with dental implants

Implant fundamentals
Natural teeth have roots that extend into the jawbone for support. A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of strong, biocompatible titanium. With precise pre-planning, Dr. Suri places an implant into a tiny opening in the gum and jaw. The procedure is brief, and soft tissues heal quickly.Over the span of several months, bone fuses solidly with the implant. This creates a stable base for a replacement tooth – a beautiful porcelain crown.
Implant benefits
- Natural look, feel, and function – Only a dentist can detect an implant. You may even forget which tooth was treated!
- Longevity – With good hygiene, a dental implant can last a lifetime. Should the crown restoration ever get damaged, it can easily be replaced without disturbing the implant.
- Bone preservation – Because an implant replaces the root of a missing tooth, it provides vital stimulation that keeps jawbone strong and healthy. That helps to avoid a sunken facial appearance from bone loss.
- Easy care – Brush and floss your implant restoration just like you clean your natural dentition. No special care is required.
- Versatile – In addition to single tooth replacement, dental implants may be used to anchor a bridge. Several dental implants hold a full denture with an incredible level of stability.
