The restorative dentist specializes in creating dental implant supported crowns and dentures. The oral and maxillofacial surgeon\u2019s expertise lies in the ability to find and groom the implant site and surgically place the implant into the correct position.\r\n\r\nStep 2: Plan for Successful Dental Implants Houston<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nYour dental implants Houston<\/a> team will collaborate in planning for a successful implant procedure. They will utilize the information obtained during your comprehensive dental exam including x-rays, models, and 3-D imaging to plan your treatment.\r\n\r\nStep 3: Bone Foundation Building for Your\u00a0Dental Implants Houston<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nAfter a tooth is loss or extracted, the residual bone can heal improperly, resulting in a defect. These defects could disrupt your implant after placement.\u00a0 Therefore, any bone defects discovered must be corrected before your dental implant<\/a> is placed. Your surgeon may need to perform bone grafting surgery to prevent or correct bone deformation. The surgeon may opt for either a particulate bone grafting (prevent defect) procedure or a block grafting (repair defect) procedure.\r\n\r\nStep 4: Precise Placement for Dental Implants Houston<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nPrecise and proper implantation is critical to the success of your dental implant<\/a> procedure. When placing your implant, the oral and maxillofacial surgeon will determine the precise height, depth, width, and angulations needed.\r\n\r\nStep 5: Gum Tissue Development for Dental Implants Houston<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nAfter your dental implant is placed, the surrounding gum and bone tissues must heal naturally and fuse with the architecture of the dental implant<\/a> to attain successful esthetics and functioning. For front teeth, your gums will be shaped using a healing abutment or temporary crown. You may also need to undergo a gum grafting procedure before the final crown is attached to your implant.\r\n\r\nStep 6: The Final Prostheses for Dental Implants Houston<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nYour implant will be covered with a custom prostheses dental crown or denture. A custom abutment placed between your dental implant<\/a> and crown will allow for a natural and healthy gum line. For implants supporting multiple teeth, your restorative dentist may place metal or ceramic extensions to increase support for the dentures.\r\n\r\nSuccessful Dental Implants Houston, TX<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nFor your successful dental implant<\/a> procedure, make an appointment<\/a> with Dr. Weil<\/a> and Dr. Koo<\/a> at Piney Point Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery<\/a> today.
