Dental Implants in Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land

What Are Dental Implants?

Nothing can take the place of a healthy set of natural teeth but a dental implant can act as a replacement tooth that is positioned into the jawbone. Dental implants are the only restoration method that stimulates your natural bone underneath the missing tooth. They can provide a strong foundation for a single tooth, several teeth, or a full set of dentures.

What our Implants are Made Of

Dental implants are typically made of titanium, a biocompatible material that is accepted by the body. Your natural bone locks the implant into place by fusing to the titanium structure. This process, known as osseointegration, gives replacement teeth the strength and stability needed to withstand daily use and function like regular teeth.

Recovery From The Dental Implant Procedure

There are different types of implants. Healing time can vary depending on the type of implant and the health and condition of the surrounding bone. After the implant is placed into the jaw bone, osseointegration must be complete before the implant can be restored with a final restoration. Any complications that may arise during the healing process will be communicated with you by your surgeon.

Patient Testimonial

"My daughter and I have been going to Dr. Fleschler for the past few years. She is the most competent, professional dentist/doctor that I have ever worked with. She truly analyzes every situation and explains it with total clarity. Plus, she genuinely cares about her patients having great results. Her staff are equally professional - Katie, Lisa, etc. I can't say enough good things about her and her team."

Are Tooth Implants Permanent?

Implants can be a permanent replacement for many patients; however, not everyone is a candidate. Patients should be medically evaluated before any implant surgery is scheduled. Some chronic illnesses and tobacco use can interfere with the healing process. In addition, the long-term integrity of an implant can be compromised by improper occlusal forces or malocclusion (bad bite). Regular dental visits and proper oral hygiene are also important to the lasting success of dental implants.

Does Insurance Cover Dental Implants?

Each patient procedure is unique. Treatment is tailored specifically to individual needs. Insurance benefits will be discussed and filed prior to implant treatment.

Is Dental Implant Surgery Safe?

Dental implant surgery is one of the safest and most predictable procedures in dentistry when performed by a trained and experienced surgeon. A dental implant is the strongest device available to support replacement teeth and allows them to feel, look and work naturally.
