There are various tooth replacement options, but nothing completes your smile like a dental implant. It is the only option to restore your tooth's root and preserve your jawbone integrity. Without the tooth root replacement, your jawbone deteriorates, leaving you with a flat or hollow profile around the lower face.
Your dentist in Bastrop recommends dental implants for patients looking for a long-term, stable solution to tooth loss.

Dental Implants in Three Steps
Step One: Your Consultation
First, you visit our dental office to consult our implant dentist. If dental implants are a suitable solution, we schedule implant placement.
Step Two: Implant Placement
Implant placement day means surgically implanting a tooth root replacement. This is not a painful undertaking, and recovery is prompt.
Step Three: Implant Restoration
You're ready for a dental crown after your dental implant root has integrated into the jawbone. The crown is customized to match your teeth and attached to the replacement root. We can also implant four to six roots to secure an arch of prosthetic teeth to the jaw.
Dental Implant Maintenance
Fortunately, dental implants are easy to care for. You brush and floss as usual and continue seeing your dentist for checkups and teeth cleanings in Bastrop.
The idea is to preserve your gum health to ensure implant success. Preventable conditions like gum disease can lead to implant failure and even further tooth loss.
Always consult your dentist if you notice oral health changes, like bleeding or swollen gums.
