Since titanium is a biocompatible material, over time your jawbone will fuse with the post, creating a firm base for your <b>dental implant<\/b>. Once this occurs, a carefully-crafted porcelain crown will be fitted on the post, and your smile is complete once again.\r\n\r\nSince the restoration teeth are custom made, you\u2019ll have a natural looking smile. Your <b>dental implants <\/b>will blend seamlessly into the rest of your smile, making them a great <b>tooth replacement <\/b>option for many patients. Since they\u2019re attached to your jawbone, it\u2019s a sturdy, secure choice to replace your missing teeth.\r\n\r\nIf you\u2019re looking for <b>teeth replacement <\/b>solutions to improve and restore your smile, call your <b>Houston, Bellaire, Briargrove, Bunker Hill Village, Galleria, Hunters Creek Village, Katy, Lamar Terrace, Meyerland, <\/b>or <b>Stafford <\/b>area dentist or oral surgeon today. They can go over your options and help find the right <b>tooth replacement <\/b>option for your smile.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you\u2019re missing teeth and you live in the Houston, Bellaire, Briargrove, Bunker Hill Village, Galleria, Hunters Creek Village, Katy, Lamar Terrace, Meyerland, or Stafford areas, you have lots of choices to restore your smile. <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pineypointoms.com\/blog\/tooth-replacement-options-to-restore-smiles\/\">(Read More)<\/a>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[7,8,9,5,21,22,10,4,11,12,13,14,6,3,15],"class_list":["post-20","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dental-implants-houston","tag-bellaire","tag-briargrove","tag-bunker-hill-village","tag-dental-implants","tag-dentures","tag-fixed-bridges","tag-galleria","tag-houston","tag-hunters-creek-village","tag-katy","tag-lamar-terrace","tag-meyerland","tag-missing-teeth","tag-piney-point-oral-and-maxillofacial-surgery","tag-stafford"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pineypointoms.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pineypointoms.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pineypointoms.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pineypointoms.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pineypointoms.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.pineypointoms.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":472,"href":"https:\/\/www.pineypointoms.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20\/revisions\/472"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pineypointoms.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pineypointoms.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pineypointoms.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
