At Chisholm Trail DentalThis link leads to Home page in Benbrook, TX, we see it all the time—patients like you who walk in unsure and walk out feeling like a million bucks.

So, what are dental implants, and why should you consider them?

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are like your teeth’s best friend.

They’re small metal posts that replace missing teeth.

The process starts with placing the implant into your jawbone, where it acts as a strong foundation.

Then, a crown is added on top, giving you a tooth that looks and feels natural.

Dr. Cindy and Dr. Ryan at Chisholm Trail Dental will ensure you get the perfect fit.

They’re experts in making sure your smile is just how you want it.

The benefits of dental implants

Why are people in Benbrook, TX, raving about dental implants?

It’s simple: they’re like getting your natural teeth back.

Here’s what makes them so great:

  • Natural look and feel: Implants blend in with your natural teeth. No one will know the difference!
  • Comfortable: Implants feel like your own teeth, so you won’t even remember they’re there.
  • Durable: They’re built to last with proper care.
  • Better oral health: They help keep your jawbone strong and healthy.

How does the dental implant process work?

Let’s walk through the process so you know what to expect. Don’t worry; it’s simpler than you think!

  1. Consultation: You’ll first meet with Dr. Cindy or Dr. Ryan at Chisholm Trail Dental. They’ll check your teeth and discuss the best plan for you.
  2. Placement: The dental implant is placed into your jawbone. This step takes some time to heal, but it’s essential. The bone needs to fuse with the implant to make it strong.
  3. Attachment: Once healed, a small piece called an abutment is attached to the implant. This part will hold the new tooth.
  4. Crown fitting: Finally, a custom-made crown is placed on top. This crown looks just like a natural tooth.

Taking care of your dental implants

So, you’ve got your new implants. Now what? Taking care of them is easy, and it’s much like taking care of your regular teeth. Here’s how:

  • Brush and floss daily: Just like you do with your other teeth.
  • Regular checkups: Visit Dr. Cindy and Dr. Ryan at Chisholm Trail Dental for routine checkups. They’ll make sure everything stays in tip-top shape.
  • Avoid hard foods: Try to avoid biting on hard candies or ice. It’s not great for your implants or your natural teeth.
