Precision Dentistry & Implants of Kerrville understands the importance of looking and feeling your best, which is why we offer dental implants to improve your smile. Rather going through the process of getting dentures, dental implants are a great way to restore missing teeth.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a restoration system that have been rising in popularity as they look and feel completely natural and produce stunning results. Dental implants are surgically placed in your jaw to act as a fake root and to hold a prosthetic tooth. Many people who have lost a tooth combine a dental implant and a fake tooth to give their smile a natural appearance.
What are the Different Types of Dental Implants?
There are two types of dental implants. The most common type is the “in the bone” implant called endosteal. This type of implant is placed in the jawbone and mostly used in people who have bridges or removable dentures. The other type of dental implant is Subperiosteal, or “on the bone.” Subperiosteal implants are placed on the jaw and are mostly used in people who don’t have the right bone height to use endosteal implants.
Who Makes a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
You are considered a great candidate for dental implants at Precision Dentistry & Implants if you are generally in good health, have a good jawbone, and don’t have any type of gum disease.
