When a natural tooth is gone, it results in much more than a simple hole in your smile the bone that was once stimulated by the tooths root actually suffers as well. The area will start to sink in, and this will spread towards other teeth as well without professional intervention. Thats why so many older people have a hunched facial appearance its because their lips and even their cheeks are starting to sink in without the support of a strong jawbone.

Dental implants exceed the benefits of other, more traditional tooth replacement options because they directly combat the jawbone deterioration that occurs as a result of tooth loss. Traditional dentures and dental bridges only replace the crowns of missing teeth, which does nothing to prevent jawbone deterioration. Dental implants are small titanium posts that are inserted into the jawbone to replace the roots, creating new, vital stimulation for the jawbone that fuses in place. The top is then covered by a customized restoration that looks and feels wholly natural.

After its been determined that dental implants are the right choice for your oral health needs, Dr. Carnow and the rest of our team will personally handle the surgical placement of your new implant. Once the implant is safely positioned within the original socket of the lost tooth, a process known as osseointegration takes over, during which your bone and tissue gradually form around the implant, creating a strong and stable foundation. After youve properly healed, youll return to your general dentist so that they can seat a custom, all-ceramic dental crown, bridge, or denture over the dental implant(s), creating a new tooth that looks, feels, and functions just like the old one.

Whether youre missing one tooth, several teeth, or an entire arch of pearly whites, simple, everyday activities like eating and speaking can become embarrassingly difficult. Thankfully, dental implants can assist patients in need of multiple teeth replacement just as well as those who require a new, individual tooth.With dental implants, we can rebuild any number of missing teeth anywhere in the mouth from the roots up.

For a single missing tooth, well simply place one dental implant into the socket where the missing tooths roots once were. After osseointegration, the implant is then topped with a custom-made crown that blends in seamlessly with the rest of your smile.

When replacing individual teeth with implants, one implant typically equals one new tooth/restoration. However, in cases where greater coverage is required, Dr. Carnow may use strategically placed implants to replace several teeth at once with an implant-supported bridge. This creates a stable and healthier foundation for the prosthetic while remaining more cost-effective for the patient.

Patients who are missing all their teeth or are tired of their traditional dentures will be happy to know that implant dentures can replace a full arch of missing teeth. With four to eight strategically placed dental implants, we can anchor a full denture into place with unmatched stability and comfort.

There are a wide variety of factors that influence the cost of dental implants in Frisco. Variables like preliminary treatments, number of dental implants, and insurance coverage will be unique from patient to patient, which is why there is no set cost. When you visit us, well take into consideration all these factors and more to create a custom estimate for you before you decide to move forward. While dental implants have a higher up-front price than traditional options like dentures or dental bridges, they have the potential to last a lifetime and improve your oral health, which can save you thousands of dollars on replacements and future oral healthcare costs.
