Dental Implants
“Replacement” can feel synonymous with “lesser”—think of a replacement put in the game after a favorite player gets injured. You might carry this preconceived notion into your oral health, assuming any replacement tooth can’t live up to the original. However, dental implants are a modern dentistry marvel.
After tooth loss from damage, disease, decay, or tooth extraction, implants strengthen bone, restore function, and are covered with luminous, stain-resistant dental crowns. With decades of experience in providing high-quality dental care, the Stone Oak dentists at Sonterra Dental can ensure your tooth replacement is a ringer in the oral health game.
Dental implants have revolutionized the way dentists approach tooth loss. While dental bridges on their own can prove effective for many, dental implants replace lost or damaged teeth by placing a durable anchor for an artificial tooth directly into your jawbone. This implant fuses with your bone, treated by your body like a real tooth root.
We then place a realistic crown on top or use the implants to support a bridge. All-on-4® implants can even replace an entire arch of teeth with just four implants. This innovative solution blends seamlessly with your other natural teeth, allowing you to eat, talk, and smile with confidence.
Using Sonterra Dental’s advanced dental technology, we start the dental implants process with a thorough exam. We take realistic digital scans, giving us a three-dimensional view of your oral health. This allows us to identify any issues we need to address first, like gum disease. Our scans can also guide our placement of your implants. Our San Antonio restorative dentists discuss the dental implants cost and your financing options, ensuring you feel in charge of your financial health as well as your oral health.
The implant procedure itself typically takes a few hours, during which we place a post in your jaw where your tooth root used to be. The recovery period takes a few months to ensure that the implant post is secure and integrated into your jawbone. Then, you return to have your final tooth replacement placed on top of the implant. With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last for many years, providing a natural and functional solution to missing teeth.
Compared to traditional dentures or dental bridges, dental implants offer numerous benefits, including enhanced comfort, improved functionality, and better aesthetics. On top of those bonuses, you can enjoy advantages like:
With these advantages in mind, it’s easy to see why dental implants, especially All-on-4® dental implants, have become such a popular and effective solution for tooth loss.
