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
Great experience. Thanks
Saw Dr. Long today to have a crown reattached to an existing post. Dr. Long did a fine job, and from what I can tell, the crown will remain in place for a long time to come. I wish everything could be this simple.
Always enjoy getting my teeth cleaned at Tracey Dental. I never have to wait long in the lobby and the staff is always very friendly and thorough, 10/10 recommend.
I have been going to Dr. Long for a couple years now. He always makes me and my family feel comfortable. The staff are nice and personable. I would recommend him to anyone who has anxiety or fear of going to the dentist.
