\"AYou\u2019ve struggled with a compromised tooth that has kept you from eating and chewing your food with ease, and also causes you embarrassment when you talk or smile. You\u2019re ready to replace your tooth, and you have your sights set on dental implants in Corpus Christi, but you wonder how successful they might be? Read on to learn all you need to know about dental implants<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What is a Dental Implant?<\/h2>\n

A dental implant is the perfect replacement for your tooth because it closely mimics your natural tooth. A titanium post is inserted into your bone to take the place of your root and provide a firm foundation for your new tooth, or porcelain crown. Titanium is biocompatible so it naturally integrates with your bone over a period of 4 to 6 months.<\/p>\n

Your dentist in Corpus Christi will customize your porcelain crown to match your existing teeth and complement your smile. You\u2019ll also get back all of the function you lost, which means that you\u2019ll be eating, chewing, talking, and smiling with ease again. You\u2019ll also be able to brush and floss as you were used to doing.<\/p>\n

What are the Benefits of Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n

When you lose a tooth, your remaining teeth will begin to shift. When you lose a root, your bone will begin to deteriorate, or resorb. These reactions cause a host of problems such as bite misalignment and lack of support for your other teeth. A dental implant solves these problems by restoring both your tooth and your root.<\/p>\n

Implants are a highly reliable treatment procedure as they boast a 95% success rate. They also provide great longevity because with the right home care and regular dental checkups they can potentially last for a lifetime. This also makes them a very cost effective long-term investment in your oral health as no other tooth replacement options offers lifetime longevity.<\/p>\n

Are Dental Implants Right for Me?<\/h2>\n

Dental implants require enough healthy bone structure to provide proper support. The patient should also be in good oral health. Your dentist can determine if implants are right for you with some x-rays and a thorough examination.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let a compromised tooth hold you back any longer! Contact your dentist today to schedule your consultation and learn more about how dental implants might benefit you.<\/p>\n
