Restore Your Smile and Life with Affordable Dental Implants
At Medina Family Dental, we understand that tooth loss can make everyday activities like eating, speaking, and smiling feel uncomfortable or embarrassing. Our team also knows this can have a deep emotional and physical impact on your quality of life.
You can leave your worries behind because cost-effective dental implants in Castroville, TX, offer a permanent solution to restore your oral function, smile confidence, and everyday comfort!
Dental Implants Deliver the Closest Thing to Natural Teeth
A dental implant consists of a titanium, screw-like post that assumes the role of your missing tooth root, a connecting abutment, and the restoration. After the implant fuses with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration, it provides a strong foundation for a crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthesis.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
- Improves appearance by replicating the look and feel of natural teeth
- Increases daily comfort with a stable, secure fit
- Allows easier eating with stable and functional chewing ability
- Boosts self-esteem by restoring a natural-looking smile
- Preserve oral health by avoiding alteration of surrounding teeth
- Provides durability that can last for decades with proper care
- Prevents bone loss by stimulating and maintaining jawbone density
Versatile Dental Implants Deliver The Smile You Desire
Single Implants
A single implant post made of biocompatible titanium is surgically placed in your jawbone to replace your missing tooth. Once the implant screw has integrated with your bone and your soft and hard tissue have fully healed, we uncover the post and connect an abutment to the implant. After your gums heal, we attach the natural-looking crown fabricated on-site at Medina Family Dental to complete your tooth replacement.
Dental Bridges
Implant-supported bridges provide a more stable and secure solution than traditional bridges, eliminating the need to file down healthy teeth. This type of bridge typically involves two dental implants and three or four missing teeth. Implant-supported bridges offer greater comfort, functionality, and longevity, while reducing the risk of gum recession.
Implant-Supported Dentures
A traditional denture is a removable prosthesis held in place in your mouth with adhesives and suction. Unlike traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures in Castroville, TX, stimulate your underlying bone to prevent deterioration and a sunken-in facial appearance. Implant-supported dentures can be designed as a removable overdenture or a fixed prosthesis, but either option offers far greater functionality than traditional dentures.
Full-Mouth Dental Implants
State-of-the-art full-mouth dental implants replace missing or damaged teeth with a full arch of permanent, natural-looking teeth. With All-on-X full-mouth dental implants in Castroville, TX, we place the implant posts in areas of your mouth with the naturally densest bone. Using this innovative approach, we take impressions at four months and change out temporary teeth for a beautiful final prosthesis, typically six months after surgery.
Restore Your Smile In Just Four Steps
During your complimentary consultation at Medina Family Dental, our team will perform a thorough exam and diagnostics to determine if you’re a good candidate for dental implants. A cone-beam computed tomography scanner and an intraoral camera are used to assess the health of your jawbone and plan precision surgery. If you have failing teeth or bone loss, we’ll schedule a tooth extraction and/or a bone augmentation procedure.
After local anesthesia and sedation take effect, we carefully open the gum tissue to expose the bone and insert the implants in predetermined sites. Your gum tissue is closed with sutures, and then the healing and fusion process starts. If you’re getting full-mouth dental implants in Castroville, TX, the all-on-four to six implant protocol enables fitting you with temporary teeth the same day.
Proper aftercare, including periodic follow-up visits, plays an integral role in the longevity of dental implants. While we provide postsurgical guidelines that include oral hygiene and dietary recommendations, we also need to check the implant sites in person. Our team will look for signs of inflammation that can lead to peri-implantitis, a condition that can impact soft and hard tissue, compromise stability, and lead to implant failure if left untreated.
Following our aftercare tips helps ensure a complication-free recovery after surgery. Dental implants fuse with the underlying bone in 3 months. Once this process is complete, we’ll attach the abutment, let your gums heal, and then fit you with your beautiful final zirconia restoration.
