Our Dental Implants Change Lives For The Better

August 6, 2017
Dr. Rick Barfield - Trusted Plano, TX Dentist

One of the more amazing advancements in dentistry is the way we in which we can now replace teeth that have been lost by adults: through a dental implants procedure. These small dental devices are making a huge impact on the lives of our patients! Keep reading to hear more about the restorations we offer at our dentist’s office in Plano, TX, then be sure to get in touch to schedule your consultation with Dr. Barfield!

What Exactly Is A Dental Implant?

Here’s what you need to know: a dental implant is a titanium screw that is placed precisely in your jawbone by a periodontist who comes into our office for dental implant cases. Your bone will fuse tightly around the dental implant to create a lasting, stable foundation for your dental restoration. Once your implant has healed, we will attach an abutment piece to the top of the implant. That abutment will support the crown that is placed on top (the part that looks like a tooth).

Who Could Benefit From A Dental Implant Procedure?

Adults who are missing a tooth (or multiple teeth) can benefit from our dental implants. Regardless of how many teeth are missing from your smile, dental implants can offer a comfortable solution that is built to last for the rest of your life. Studies have shown that implants might actually extend your life expectancy!

Restorative Dentistry At Work

Ever since the first titanium implant was tested on patients in the 1960s, dental implants have been changing lives forever for the better. You are no longer limited to the slippery dentures and awkward-feeling false teeth that earlier generations had to endure. Rather than that sort of fate, you can enjoy replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like your own natural teeth! There are many advantages to doing it this way…

Eat Healthy Foods

Without a full set of teeth, and even with those old-school slippery and uncomfortable dental restorations, it is very difficult to eat truly nutritious, fiber-rich foods like fresh produce and lean protein.

Consider this: dentures have only about ¼ of the bite strength of your natural teeth, but our dental implant solutions can bring that number closer to 80 percent so that you can enjoy healthy, nutritious foods once again.

Share Your Smile With Confidence

You won’t have to worry about covering your mouth in photos or adjusting your teeth before smiling. Plus, you can laugh whole-heartedly at a joke.

A Restoration To Grow Old With

Like we said, for most adults, a permanent dental restoration is needed. With proper care, your dental implants will remain secure in your gums for the rest of your life! What more could you possibly ask for?!
