Dental Implants in Arlington, TX
Missing a tooth can be frustrating. Not only does it detract from your smile, but it can make it harder to eat the foods you love. Additionally, people with missing teeth tend to feel less confident in social situations. The good news is that there is a simple solution to replace missing adult teeth: dental implants!
A dental implant for a single tooth consists of three parts: the titanium post, the abutment, and the crown. The post acts as an artificial root, anchoring your new tooth securely in place. The crown is custom-made to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, blending in seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
Unlike a traditional bridge, which requires the alteration of neighboring teeth, a single dental implant preserves the structure of your natural teeth and supports long-term oral health. Patients report improved bite strength, better speech, and greater comfort with single-tooth implants.

What Are Dental Implants?
The
dental implant itself is a small titanium post that takes over the function of your
missing tooth's root.
Dental implants are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement because they are as close to a
natural tooth as you can get with modern dentistry.
Once the
dental implant is surgically placed deep in your gums, it will be a strong foundation for your beautiful new replacement tooth.
As the healing process takes place, the implant fuses with your jawbone to create a solid base. After this integration is complete, typically in a few months, a custom-crafted crown is attached to the implant. This crown is designed to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, making it nearly indistinguishable from your real smile.
Dental implants are ideal for patients in good oral and general health who want a permanent solution to replace
missing teeth. They also help stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that can lead to changes in facial structure over time. This makes them superior to other tooth replacement options like bridges and dentures, which do not offer the same level of bone support.
