What are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post surgically placed into your jawbone to replace a missing tooth root. Once it fuses with the bone, it provides a stable, permanent attachment point for a crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthetic. The result is a restoration that looks and functions like a natural tooth with none of the limitations of traditional options.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
Dental implants in Abilene aren’t your typical restoration. They follow a multi-step process to ensure success:
- Consultation: A thorough exam, imaging, and a conversation about your goals, health history, and whether implants are right for you.
- Dental Implant Surgery: Your implant surgery is performed by a trusted specialist who places each fixture into your jawbone.
- Osseointegration and Abutment: Over the following months, your implant fuses with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. Once complete, an abutment is placed to connect the implant to your restoration.
- Delivery of Restorations: Dr. Critz designs and delivers your final crown, bridge, or prosthetic, completing your smile with care.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Implants don't just replace teeth—they replace everything a missing tooth takes with it. Once your restoration is complete, you’ll see benefits like:
- Restored chewing function
- Preserved jawbone density
- Improved smile aesthetics
- Boosted confidence
- Easy maintenance
- Long-lasting durability
For most patients, dental implants are an investment that continues to pay for themselves every single day, year after year.
