Dr. Farah is a Houston implants dentist. What is a dental implant? Dental implants have been around for nearly 35 years, and they have a 90% to 95% proven success rate in appropriately chosen cases.

When people lose their permanent teeth due to accident, disease, injury or extraction, dental implants can be a secure option for permanent tooth replacement. They are superior to many other choices. They can easily pass as natural teeth without a trace, except in an X-ray, and they actually restore the comfort and appearance of natural permanent teeth, and remain functional for the long run. Another advantage, they do not rely on neighboring teeth for support. The dental implant looks like a titanium screw that is attached to the jawbone and gum tissue to become a stable base for a dental crown. Because they are permanently, surgically anchored in the jawbone, your ability to speak and eat normally is restored to normal. Dental implants can restore one single tooth, a number of teeth or a full jaw of teeth. An implant and a crown are needed to replace one single tooth. Implant-supported bridges are used to replace several teeth. To replace a full jaw of teeth, a dentist may use implants to support a set of dentures.

It usually takes a few months to finish implant treatment. The process takes this long because of osseointegration, the process where the implant fuses with the bone. It can take from three to six months to complete the implant treatment.
