What Are Dental Implants?
Do you have missing teeth? Taking care of this issue is crucial for your overall oral health. In McKinney, TX, Dr. Dorian Long is thrilled to offer realistic dental implants for effective tooth replacement. These implants come with a metal post that acts like an artificial root, topped with a custom-made crown, bridge, or full denture to replace one or more missing teeth. If you're missing teeth or anticipate needing an extraction, schedule an oral exam at Tracey Dental to explore your dental implant options.
What Is the Treatment Process?
The dental implant procedure involves carefully placing the implant post and attaching a natural-looking replacement, such as crowns, bridges, or partials. Before the surgery at our McKinney, TX office, the area is numbed with anesthesia to ensure comfort. We may also offer sedation dentistry to help you stay relaxed throughout the procedure. The implant post is then precisely placed in the jawbone and allowed to integrate with the bone through a process called osseointegration. This healing phase usually takes a few months. Once fully healed, Dr. Long will fit a custom-made crown, denture, or full-arch replacement, making sure everything aligns perfectly with your jaw.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants are generally favored at our McKinney, TX practice because of the dramatic extent of outstanding advantages they provide. As efficient replacements, implants at Tracey Dental:
- Seem like natural teeth in capability and look
- Promote the adaptation of a healthy diet
- Integrate with the jawbone to maintain jaw wellness and use
- Serve as a durable tooth replacement solution
- Do not rely on neighboring teeth to hold their place
- Allow for increased jaw strength and lifespan of tooth substitutes
- Could improve your self-confidence when speaking and anytime you smile
Tracey Dental Reviews
Best experience with a dentist I’ve ever had! Highly recommend.
I was scared of the dentist due to past experiences but at Tracey Dental I can have good conversation while getting amazing dental work done my fillings feel great can’t wait to come back!!
I wanted a second opinion on crowns I got done 5 months ago that still hurt. Dr. Long was able to come up with a second option to attempt to relieve my pain before getting root canals. I appreciate how honest he is and for taking the time to talk through options with me. He doesn’t try to offer procedures not needed or tries to scare you. I look forward to my procedure!
Dr. Long took great care with my dental cleaning. He and his staff are great! Highly recommend!
First time visit and was really impressed with the staff. Everyone was super friendly and Dr. Long was very informative and a pleasure. Will definitely be back and will refer family. Thanks for helping me get back on track with caring for my oral health!
