Have you taken the time to really learn about dental implants? Well, if you have lost one or more of your natural teeth, then you are ready to discuss your options. This innovative approach to prosthodontic care uses a small, threaded titanium post to provide major support for a prosthetic, and it’s helping people across the country to find a stronger smile after adult tooth loss. So, before you head to your Christmas party with a noticeable gap, tell your dentist about your troubles.
With our team at MMC Dental in Houston, TX, you’ve got someone who cares. Our office is here to help our patients make positive smile moves, and when adult tooth loss comes around, it’s worth discussing dental implants.

Give yourself the gift of a complete, quality smile. Ask MMC Dental whether dental implants are your next step.
How Do Dental Implants Work, Anyway?
Before you make a decision on your smile’s future, it can be helpful to take a look at your options. But while you may be familiar with traditional prosthodontic techniques like dental bridges and dentures, there is another, more advanced route. We’re talking, of course, about dental implants.
Dental implant technology hinges on the placement of a titanium post within healthy bone tissue. Amazingly, the human body does not identify this metal as a threat, and instead, bone grows tightly into the threads of the post. After a short period of healing, this spot becomes a solid foundation for a smile renewal; a qualified provider can attach a pontic, which is a prosthetic that looks remarkably like the real thing.

When you lose one or more of your natural teeth, you become at a higher risk of losing more of them. That’s due to a range of factors, including losing the structural support that a tooth provides. Even below the gumline, their presence does a lot to keep bone healthy and strong.
A dental implant offers a solution that works through bone tissue. Instead of relying on support from surrounding teeth, it holds from below, and that offers opportunities. See whether they are right for you at a consultation.
