Dental Implants That Feel Right

Count on our team to help you regain your beautiful smile with long-lasting dental implants

When you lose a tooth, you don't want to be without one for long. Each of our teeth is essential for properly speaking, eating, smiling, and living our lives. While there are several options for replacing missing teeth, dental implants are widely regarded as the best and most health-conscious option for your smile. Our periodontist team at Nu Dentistry Houston is committed to restoring your old smile with beautiful and affordable dental implants! An implant, an abutment, and a crown are the three main parts of a dental implant. The implant, which acts as the tooth's anchor, is a titanium screw that is surgically inserted into the jawbone. The crown is the covering that secures your new tooth, giving it the same shape and bite as your natural tooth. The abutment is the metal element that connects the prosthetic tooth together. When everything is finished, your restored tooth will have a lifespan of brilliance equal to that of your missing one! Are there several missing teeth in your mouth? It's no trouble! You may replace anything from a single tooth to a complete smile in a single appointment thanks to the compatibility of our dental implants with bridges and dentures. Implant supports help conventional bridges and dentures endure longer and be more stable. It's time to get gorgeous dental implants to regain your smile and self-worth! To schedule a consultation with our staff, please call our dental office at (832) 930-7738 today.

WHAT IS THE TOOTH IMPLANT PROCESS?

During the implant process, we want your journey to new teeth to be a no-brainer

CONSULTATION

To guarantee the success of your dental implants, we'll conduct a complete examination and consultation while outlining your alternatives and organizing your future treatment.

BONE GRAFT

Jaw shrinking can develop over time as a result of both gum disease and tooth extraction. In half of all instances, a bone transplant is necessary to strengthen the jawbone and give the implant the adequate support.

IMPLANT

Once a sound base has been created, the titanium implant can be surgically placed in the jaw. Following that, it will unite with the bone and support the remaining tooth.

HEALING

Osseointegration is the process through which the implant screw progressively solidifies and fortifies the jawbone. This might take four to six months, depending on the quantity of implants.

ABUTMENT

As soon as you have finished healing, we will join the metal abutment to the implant. A tiny incision is made in the gums that have recovered around the screw before the abutment is inserted.

CROWN

To finish your new tooth, a custom-made crown will be affixed to the abutment. If a dental bridge or denture is more appropriate for your requirements, utilize that instead.

THE DENTAL IMPLANT ADVANTAGE

See why our patients love their new teeth implants

The process of restoring lost teeth can be done in several ways. Conversely, implants are the best and healthiest choice, offering advantages that bridges and dentures cannot equal. The underlying jawbone starts to contract when teeth are removed because it no longer has teeth to support it. While bone loss cannot be halted, bridges and dentures can prevent remaining teeth from moving out of position. This may lead to tooth loss, increased frequency of dental problems, and face drooping. Dental implants are made to resemble natural teeth in both appearance and functionality, down to the roots. By firmly implanting themselves in the jaw, they can halt post-tooth extraction bone loss in its tracks and maintain the health of your jaw and smile. Additionally, since implants don't rely on nearby teeth for support, your other teeth stay healthy and entire. In addition, they live the longest and can easily maintain their physical fitness for 20 to 35 years. Implant screws made of titanium can last a lifetime with proper maintenance. Additionally, dental implants are very flexible to your dental needs. Standard dental implants can only replace one or two teeth at once, but because they work with other dental prosthesis, you may inexpensively restore the precise amount of teeth you need. Additionally, denture and bridge implants are more durable and stable than conventional options. Like regular implants, bridge implants and permanent dentures have a long lifespan.

Types of Dental Implants

How do you know which implants are right for you? Well you have to start by knowing what types of dental implants are available to you...

3D render dental implant
Single Tooth Implant

Your confidence might suffer tremendously if you have a missing tooth. Consider having an implant if you just need to replace one missing tooth. A single tooth implant made with this state-of-the-art technology will mimic the look, feel, and functioning of your natural tooth. You may get your smile back with one of single tooth implants from Nu Dentistry.

Front Tooth Implant

Over time, aesthetic dentistry has advanced much farther. Those who are missing one or more front teeth have a new option thanks to dental implants. In contrast to other restoration treatments, a front tooth implant won't damage your neighboring teeth. The fact that your implant will seem natural is the nicest part.

Snap-on Implant Teeth

The best therapies for tooth decay or missing teeth are implant-supported dentures or snap-on implant teeth. These implants are more reliable, less likely to slip, and better at hiding gum tissue loss than more conventional dentures. Patients who use traditional dentures run the danger of also losing jawbone tissue.

3D render dental bridge
Implant Bridge

It has never been easier to replace several teeth than with our implant bridges. For individuals who may not want to replace every tooth with a dental implant, an implant bridge is a fantastic alternative. The tension on your jawbone is reduced when dental implants are utilized to anchor implant bridges in your mouth. An implant bridge is a long-lasting treatment that replicates the look, feel, and functionality of your natural teeth.

Implant Dentures

Your lost teeth can be replaced with dentures from NuDentistry that have implants. When you smile, laugh, speak, and chew, implant dentures give you greater confidence than removable dentures since they are cemented in place. They do not move when performing standard dental treatments and provide a sturdy substitute for missing teeth. You could restore your smile and confidence with implant dentures from our superb dentists.

Dental implants can be made specifically for each patient. They can replace one tooth with just one implant or a whole smile with All-On-4 dental implants.

Pass Oral Health Screening

Be in Relatively Good Overall Health

Dental implants involve surgery, thus patients must be in good enough condition to undergo incisions and stitches. Pregnancy, diabetes, and smoking all have the potential to compromise the effectiveness of your dental implant.

HAVE SUFFICIENT ALVEOLAR BONE SUPPORT

The loss of jawbone, which is necessary for the stability of dental implants, can be triggered by both tooth loss and severe gum disease. A dental bone graft, however, can restore the lost tissues and provide your new teeth with the strong foundation they need.

Crowns & Bridges

Crowns and bridges are restorative procedures that help patients restore the function of their teeth. This surgery can help people whose teeth are weak, missing, or in bad shape. Dental crowns will improve the appearance and functionality of each of your individual teeth, as opposed to dental bridges, which are used to replace one or more missing teeth.

Dental Implants FAQ

As long as you practice excellent oral care and a healthy diet, dental implants can last your entire lifetime. The implant screws will be as solid, stable, and secure as a real tooth after they have fused with the jaw. Additionally, the porcelain crown that is fixed to the implant might endure 25 years or longer.

Yes. The most realistic option for replacing teeth is an implant. To allow you to enjoy your old smile once more like new, we carefully match the color, size, and form of your crowns to your original tooth.

Dental bridges employ the teeth on each side of the gap as their anchors, as opposed to implants, which are placed into the jaw to replace missing teeth. A fake tooth or teeth, along with two dental crowns on either end, make up a bridge. Your new teeth can sit comfortably and firmly in the area between the surrounding teeth once the adjoining tooth's crowns have been applied. Four teeth can be replaced at once using a bridge.

The number of teeth replaced, the kind of implant (standard or micro), the quantity of implants, the kind of prosthesis, and if dental grafting is required all affect how much your dental implants will cost. For instance, a single tooth replacement will be less expensive than full-mouth dental implants like All-On-4. Additionally, there will be a fee for any extra services including dental sedation and periodontal maintenance.

The term "mini dental implants" accurately describes what they are. Smaller than usual titanium screws are used in these implants. They frequently allow patients to completely omit the bone transplant stage because they require less jawbone support. Additionally, they facilitate speedier absorption and healing. Mini implants are therefore a well-liked alternative for people who require full-mouth dental implants.

The majority of implant patients need bone grafting. After an extraction, bone loss can begin as soon as six months later, and it accelerates significantly within the first year. Patients who wait to begin the implant process or who previously wore a bridge or denture are likely to have lost enough bone to require grafts prior to beginning the implant procedure.

The Best Dentist In Houston, TX
Sandra Archuleta

We have been looking for a family dentist for a long time, we have tried a bunch of places but nothing felt quite like home. Not too long ago we stumbled upon Nu Dentistry and met Dr. Ali. Not only was he professional, kind, and gentle, but he always finds a way to fit us in when we need an appointment. He’s also pretty funny! I appreciate that he takes the time to explain what he’s doing, before he does it. That really puts me at ease.
