Fixed vs. Removable Teeth
In general, you have two options for replacing your teeth: fixed and removable. Dentures are the removable option. Dentures are artificial teeth that are set on an acrylic base that fits over your gums. They return only 20% of natural function and will eventually require repairing and replacement. Implant supported dentures are a more functional option, utilizing two or more dental implants to stabilize the dentures, restoring 60% of dental function. They still consist of a removable acrylic denture and may crack or fracture over time.
The best choice for missing teeth is the fixed option: full mouth dental implants consisting of a fixed prosthetic bridge of teeth permanently supported by 4-8 dental implants. This solution restores over 98% of natural function with teeth that are precision-crafted to look, feel, and function like the real thing. You can eat without limitations, enhance your quality of life, and talk, laugh, and smile comfortably!

Teeth Whitening FAQ
-
Dental implants have three main parts:
A screw-like titanium post that’s anchored in your jaw and acts as a tooth root.
A durable, natural-looking crown that enables you to chew foods normally and fills in gaps in your smile.
An abutment, which connects the other two components. The post integrates with your jawbone and becomes a permanent part of your body within a few months.

We have a process in place that enables us to precisely place your dental implants to the specifications of your mouth, making for a perfect, comfortable fit. What’s more, advanced technology allows us to completely pre-plan your procedure, making it go quicker and more smoothly, leaving less chance for complications. During the placement procedure itself, we always provide an anesthetic to keep you relaxed and pain-free.

We can restore your jawbone density and make you a candidate for dental implants with a procedure called bone grafting.
-
Though it’s hard to put a price on the value dental implants can provide you, several factors figure into the cost, including bone grafting, tooth extractions and the number of dental implants you need. Your oral surgeon can help you determine your actual cost during a consultation here in our Houston office. Schedule your visit soon!

Dental implants are practically indistinguishable from natural teeth and require the very same type of care. Remember to brush and floss two times daily and visit us for regular cleanings.
-
While dentures are a time-tested solution, dental implants integrate with the jaw just like natural tooth roots, preserve your jawbone health, and mirror natural teeth in look, feel and function. Dental implants never slip and don’t require adhesives.
-
A personalized consultation with your oral surgeon in our Houston office is the best way to begin. They will take time to listen to your concerns and preferences, perform a thorough evaluation, then recommend the best implant option for you.
