Common Questions about Dental Implants
Dental Implants: An Affordable Alternative to Dentures and Bridges
If you’ve lived with dentures or a bridge, you know this is not a great solution. Not only do they slip at the worst times, feel and look unnatural, they are not permanent and need to be replaced every five to ten years.
Ask your dentist and he will tell you dental implants only affect the teeth that need to be replaced. There is no need to grind down adjacent teeth in order to install them. And because they are permanently fixed to the jaw bone, there is absolutely no slipping. Dental implants are also as durable as original teeth. They last many years.
The implant dentistry specialists at Midtown Dentistry provide people with customized implants to give them the ability to smile with confidence and eat virtually anything they want.
The Dental Implant Procedure
The dental implant procedure requires placement of small titanium posts to the jawbone where teeth are missing. The posts and bone bond together. This creates a solid foundation for the artificial teeth. Also, dental implants can help prevent bone deterioration and preserve facial structure that occurs with missing teeth.
When you make the decision to have dental implants, our Houston dentists will first perform a dental/x-ray examination and health history.
Prior to surgery you will be able to address any concerns you may have about the procedure during your consultation visits with your surgeon and restoration dentist in Houston.

What is an Overdenture?
An overdenture is similar to a conventional denture except it has precision dental attachments underneath that give it much better retention. Overdentures can be made to fit over implants or in some cases over natural teeth. It is a way of providing extra stability for dentures so that they behave much in the same way as natural teeth, and patients can be confident that they won’t move around or fall out, alleviating the need to use messy adhesives. It’s an ideal solution for anyone who has a lot of trouble keeping dentures in place due to lack of retention, and the overdentures can be removed for easy cleaning. Learn More …
Can Implants Last a Lifetime?
Dental implants can last a lifetime, but this does depend on several factors. These include a person’s medical health and also their daily oral hygiene routine. If there is a question mark over either of these aspects then an implant could fail at some later date. It also depends on how good the quality of the bone was at time of placement. Most implants have a very high rate of success and should last a considerable amount of time, especially as the materials and expertise have increased. Read More …
My Gums are receding are Implants an Option?
Gum recession and loose dentures are commonly experienced by patients who wear partial or complete dentures for long term as these dentures expose the tissues to prolonged compression causing loss of gum tissue volume in addition to bone loss. Thus the bone cannot support teeth as it loses its resistance to withstand against forces and it finally undergoes resorption over time and thus the patients present with their loose fitting dentures. Thus implants are considered to be a best option as they can prevent bone resorption by stabilizing the bones and tissues thereby further bone loss can be avoided. This article assures you that dental implants can be an ideal option to replace missing teeth in long term denture wearers. However, certain cases require additional procedures to treat the receded gums prior to the placement of implants. Read More …
Do Implants Affect Adjacent Teeth?
Dental implants have only positive effects on adjacent teeth, and there are several reasons why this is so, and this article will give a brief overview of some of these reasons. Perhaps the first thing to address is the necessity to fill the gap left by the extracted tooth. It might be tempting to leave it, especially if it is further back in the mouth and less likely to be seen, but the simplest reason for using a dental implant to fill the gap is to ensure that the adjacent teeth cannot move about, and will remain in the correct bite. Read More …
Who is the Best Dentist for Implants?
Your dentist should have received implant training while pursuing a specialty degree such as oral maxillofacial surgery or prosthodontics. Many dentists practice implant therapy without having pursued a specialty degree and may have obtained their training through a weekend course, and are perfectly capable of achieving good results. However in more complicated cases it’s far better to choose someone with a higher degree of experience and skills.
