How to Replace Damaged Teeth with Dental Implants

Losing a tooth can significantly create chaos in our day-to-day activities like eating, smiling or speaking. However, with the inception of dental implant treatment, it has become quite easy to replace lost, damaged or missing teeth. Dental implants consist of 3 parts, including an implant post that is inserted into your jawbone, the abutment which is attached to the implant with a screw. It is made of titanium, porcelain or gold, and the last one is tooth restoration which covers up the abutment.

Dental implant offers a natural look and can be better than other alternatives. They perform great both in function and appearance. By strengthening the bone structure, dental implants protect the existing teeth. Our San Antonio Dentist Texas can replace your missing or damaged tooth with a new implant-supported restoration. After the treatment, you will be experiencing improvement as far as eating, chewing, smiling or laughing is concerned.
