\"\"<\/a>A relatively new restorative dentistry tool, dental implants<\/a> are a modern alternative to bridges and dentures, and they\u2019ve helped countless patients recover from tooth loss and experience a smile that\u2019s beautiful and fully functional again. Having unsightly gaps isn\u2019t only embarrassing \u2013 it can also lead to additional oral health problems, such as periodontal disease. At Dr. Carmen\u2019s<\/a> Norman dental practice<\/a>, we\u2019ll keep that from happening by seeing you through every step of the treatment, as well as answering common questions about dental implants here!<\/p>\n

What exactly are dental implants? <\/strong><\/p>\n

They\u2019re comprised of the same parts as a natural tooth: the crown and the root. The root, a small titanium post, is surgically placed in jawbone in order to provide a secure foundation for the custom-made crown, which will be set atop it after an appropriate amount of time has passed for the area to heal.<\/p>\n

What happens during the dental implant process?<\/strong><\/p>\n

First, Dr. Carmen<\/strong> will thoroughly examine your mouth for any possible signs of decay or damage. Once he\u2019s determined that you\u2019re a viable candidate for dental implants, you\u2019ll undergo a surgical procedure to have one or more dental implants placed in your jaw. While many dentists have to send their patients elsewhere to undergo this part of the treatment, Dr. Carmen<\/strong> has taken advanced courses in implant dentistry and is highly qualified to carry out every stage himself.<\/p>\n

Once the surgery is complete and some time has passed for the implant to successfully fuse with the bone tissue, you\u2019ll return to our Norman, OK<\/strong> office so that Dr. Carmen<\/strong> can attach your new restoration.<\/p>\n

What are the benefits of dental implants? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Dental implants<\/strong> are notable for being the only tooth replacement option that replicates the entire structure of the tooth instead of just the crown. This helps keep the jawbone from deteriorating over time and provides better support and stability for the patient. Additionally, dental implants<\/strong> have a very high success rate, closely mimic natural teeth, and can potentially last a lifetime if cared for properly.<\/p>\n

Contact<\/a> our Norman, OK<\/strong> today to schedule a dental implant consultation with Dr. Carmen<\/strong>. We can\u2019t wait to give you a reason to smile!
