It's time you learned exactly what a Dental Implant Is!

You could say that dental implants are a series of procedures conducted by Dr. Idriss -  the implantologist, to recreate missing teeth.  The key element to a dental implant is the initial titanium implant that sits in the bone pocket of the tooth - the alveolus. Yes...that's a strange word, but relevant.  The titanium over time, bonds with the bone much like the original tooth bonds with the jaw bone, to form a stable foundation.  That of course, is essential because it prevents erosion of the bone that would normally occur with another type of tooth replacement.  Once in place, the the dental implant is capped with a crown to replicate the visible portion of the tooth (the enamel).  The patient will find that in many cases, the replacement tooth will work just as well - if not better - than the original.

In comparison a Fixed Dental Bridge is non-removable and is attached to the remaining natural teeth.

For  years fixed bridges were considered the best alternative for people who were missing teeth because they worked pretty successfully  and were esthetically pleasing.  The drawback is that  bridges can also present problems because the natural teeth that lie on either side of the bridge have to be filed to accept the bridge.  That step in the bridge-making procedure invites bacterial plaque accumulations, periodontal disease, decay, and even a possible need for a root canal in the future.  So, it would stand to reason that the most accepted form of tooth replacement is the Dental Implant.  Talk to Dr. Idriss about the many benefits associated with implants and allow her to evaluate your condition and see if implants are the right choice for You!      The Smile Designer 281-257-8815

As you can see on our outdoor sign above, Dr. Idriss and The Smile Designer feature "advanced Cosmetic Dentistry" and "Progressive Dental Care".  One of the most popular advancements in Dentistry today, is the ability to install teeth implants.  Dr. Idriss and her team of smile design architects are experienced in dental implants and invite you to consider them if you have cracked or missing teeth.

Dr. Idriss welcomes new and existing patients who feel socially awkward because they are afraid to smile and expose ugly fillings or missing teeth.  She can implant a few or a whole mouth-full of missing teeth in just a few appointments - thanks to today's technology and her state-of-the-art office.

Why would you be better off with implants?  You would no longer need to apply dental adhesives if you currently wear dentures.  You would discover that through a natural biological process bone would bond with your implants, which would help minimize the loss of bone sometimes found in areas of missing teeth.  In turn, your natural facial contours would be preserved.  Since good eating habits rely on the ability to properly chew food you would have the ability to eat a variety of foods like raw vegetables and fruits - which we know are rich in essential vitamins.  And one other important benefit:  with implants you would be able to chew, smile, and speak without feeling the  negative emotions associated with exposing missing or cracked teeth!
