Dental Implants in Lavon, TX
Dental implants are a tooth-replacement option that uses an implant post, an abutment, and a final restoration to replace missing teeth.
Understanding your care
An overview of dental implants
A dental implant is placed in the jaw to support a replacement tooth or teeth. After treatment planning and healing, an abutment connects the implant to the final restoration, such as a crown or bridge.
Implant care is planned individually. A thorough evaluation helps determine whether implants are appropriate and which type of restoration best fits the area being replaced.
Thoughtful treatment
How it can help
- Provides support for a crown, bridge, or another appropriate restoration.
- Offers an option that does not rely on neighboring teeth for support in every situation.
- Can be planned for a single missing tooth or multiple missing teeth.
