Dealing with damaged teeth is essential to the general wellness and appearance of the mouth. To enable Schertz, TX patients to overcome extracted or missing teeth, Dr. Cassandra Montemayor is happy to provide high-quality dental implants to accomplish tooth replacement. A fixed implant is composed of a sturdy screw that acts as a stand-in tooth root, and a specially crafted crown, bridge, or denture replaces the visible portion of the lost tooth or teeth. If you have missing teeth or require a tooth extraction, set up an appointment at Savannah Smiles Dental and learn about your dental implant options.

Oral implants are utilized to replace any quantity of missing teeth, ranging from a single tooth to several teeth. You might be a good candidate for oral implants if you have experienced the loss of teeth, need extractions, or are dissatisfied with your present restoration. To serve their purpose, dental implants need proper jawbone tissue, healthy gums, and a stable dental environment. In some cases, patients may require additional services before they are thought of as ideal candidates. Dental implants may not be appropriate if you are an expecting mother, use tobacco products, or have specific medical concerns. At your visit, Dr. Montemayor will help you learn if implant-supported restorations are a match for you.

The process for dental implants involves the surgical positioning of the post and the securing of a natural-looking tooth replacement, such as full-arch pieces, crowns, or bridges. Once you are ready for treatment, your mouth is numbed with anesthesia. Oral-conscious sedation or IV techniques may also be utilized to help you feel calm throughout your procedure. The fixed post will be surgically secured within the jawbone at a certain area and given a period of time to fuse with the tissue through a phenomenon called osseointegration. Once the implant site has completely recovered, which takes usually 6 – 9 months, Dr. Montemayor will set a custom denture, crown, or bridge and assess the alignment of the biting surfaces.

People who receive this procedure might experience minor swelling, bruising, and pain near the affected region. Prescribed or nonprescription pain relievers and ice packs could help ease any post-op aches or pains. Once the metal post has fused with the jaw and the personal crown, denture, or bridge is attached, it's necessary to maintain a regular dental care program with efficient brushing and flossing practices. When patients schedule with Savannah Smiles Dental for their biannual dental sessions, we will utilize special dental instruments to polish their oral implants and check up on the health of their restorations.

With the developments in modern dental services, there are many options to take on missing teeth with the seamless look and function of dental implants. Dr. Montemayor is thrilled to provide restorative implant solutions as durable tooth replacements to patients in Schertz, TX. To learn about your possibilities for restoring badly compromised or lost teeth, schedule your consultation at Savannah Smiles Dental.

About Us
Are dental implants covered by insurance?

A portion of your dental implant procedure or piece could be covered by insurance, depending on the details of your policy. Our front desk staff will call your provider and help make full use of your benefits before estimating any personal expenses. At Savannah Smiles Dental, we don't want any patients to miss out on the treatment they need because of price, so ask about our accessible payment solutions.

Are dental implants permanent?

When placed correctly and cared for properly, dental implants can last a lifetime. Because your implant is directly integrated into the jawbone, it will stay in place securely and may not require replacement or adjustments. Regular checkups with Dr. Garcia will help ensure that your implant remains healthy and in good condition.

Do dental implants look natural?

Yes! At Savannah Smiles Dental, we use the highest quality materials to craft lifelike crowns, bridges, and dentures that fit seamlessly over your implants. These prosthetics are designed to match your existing teeth in size and color so they will blend in naturally with your smile. With proper care, no one will know the difference between your natural teeth and dental implants.

How do I care for my dental implants?

Caring for your dental implant is just like caring for your natural teeth. Brush twice per day, floss once per day, and visit our Schertz, TX team every six months for regular checkups and cleanings. We also recommend avoiding hard or crunchy foods, as they can damage your implant and surrounding teeth.

What is the success rate of dental implants?

According to professional studies, dental implants have a success rate of 90 – 95%. To get the most out of your implants, it's crucial to follow the aftercare instructions provided. You should also keep up a good oral health routine that includes regular brushing and flossing as well as frequent visits to our Schertz, TX dental office so our team can clean your prosthetic and note any possible signs of problems.

What can I eat after getting a dental implant?

For the first 2 – 3 days after your implant is placed, we recommend sticking to an all-liquid diet that includes soups and broths, smoothies, and meal replacement drinks. As your teeth start to feel better, you can move on to soft foods, such as eggs, mashed potatoes, leafy greens, and oatmeal. After surgery, we'll discuss in more detail which food items you can eat and which ones you should avoid while you heal.
