"My Dental Implants Don’t Look Like Old Lady Teeth!"

Restore Your Smile for a Lifetime

More than 100,000 Americans are missing at least one tooth. This means that if you’re struggling to eat a balanced diet, or if you’re too embarrassed to smile for photographs, you’re certainly not alone! Missing many or most of your teeth can lead to changes in the appearance of your face, increased self-consciousness, and even an overall decline in your health. Whether you’re missing one tooth or all 32, dental implants are the “gold standard” solution for tooth loss. These permanent tooth replacements restore your oral health, the aesthetics of your smile, and the biting and chewing function of your teeth, plus they last for decades. Dr. Matthew Huff at Precision Dentistry & Implants of Kerrville is well-practiced in the art and science of dental implants, and he can help you achieve a new quality of life that will last for many years to come, and quite possibly for life!

Whether you’re missing one tooth or all 32, dental implants are the “gold standard” solution for tooth loss.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are made up of three components – a post, an abutment and a restoration – that work together to mimic the function of your natural teeth. Because they are surgically secured into your jawbone, dental implants are the most versatile tooth replacements available, capable of replacing a single tooth or a full arch of teeth. Full arch dental implants are placed onto four to six titanium posts, which are implanted into your jaw bone. This delicate and precise work requires a skilled touch and advanced surgical technology in order to optimize the outcome of your treatment. That’s where Dr. Huff comes in: Utilizing state-of-the-art technologies for the best results, he routinely provides both single and full arch dental implants in Kerrville, TX.

Your Custom Dental Implant Choices

Surgically placed in the jawbone, dental implants can support a single dental crown or bridge to replace one missing tooth or several in a row. They can also be used to support a modified denture. For patients missing many or all of their teeth, full arch dental implants can permanently support a full, fixed bridge of artificial teeth. This allows you to eat an unlimited diet with strong lifelike teeth. No matter which dental implant treatment you get, you will experience improved confidence, an improved diet, and a higher quality of life.

Why Does Dental Implant Placement Experience Matter?

The Process of Getting Dental Implants

Your dental implant treatment at Precision Dentistry & Implants is personalized to your specific health needs and smile goals. You’ll first complete a consultation with our implant dentist in Kerrville, TX, where we’ll discuss your dental and medical history, take digital X-rays of your mouth, do a complimentary cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan of your jawbone, and create your custom treatment plan. The next step is to undergo dental implant surgery, which may involve extracting teeth and doing bone grafts, as well as placing the dental implants. We use fully guided techniques for all our surgeries to ensure the most efficient procedure and exact, predictable results. You’ll be resting comfortably and pain-free under anesthesia during the entire process. In many cases, we’re able to attach a temporary tooth or set of teeth during this appointment. Your mouth will need at least three months to heal, during which time you’ll be able to eat and smile comfortably. After that, you can receive your custom-made permanent dental restoration.

Why Should I Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants provide a variety of advantages over other tooth replacement options. Unlike traditional bridges, dental implants do not require healthy teeth to be present to support the restoration. Dental implants only need proper jawbone density to remain secure and strong, where they will in turn provide stimulation to keep the jawbone healthy. Unlike dentures, the posts of dental implants act as artificial tooth roots, restoring more than 99% of your original biting and chewing power. For this reason, implants are one of the top solutions to missing or failing teeth. Best of all, virtually all patients who come to Precision Dentistry & Implants are candidates for dental implants.

After Dr. Huff places your implants, stick to a soft food or liquid diet, avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, rinse your mouth with warm salt water to help with swelling and take over-the-counter medications to help with the pain. Once your initial healing period is complete, all you have to do to care for your dental implants is brush and floss as you would with your natural teeth.
