Dental implants are an innovative way to replace missing teeth with a prosthetic that closely imitates natural tooth structure. You see, dental implants have both a base and a crown, just as a tooth has a root and a crown. Dr. Lide works in an interdisciplinary approach with an oral surgeon or periodontist for surgical placement of the implant posts. Then, in our Richardson dental office, he oversees the healing process and will attach a permanent crown or removable denture, partial, or bridge, to the implants.
Patients love dental implants because of their many advantages over traditional replacement teeth, including:
- Dental implants are secure and permanent
- Dental implants require no special care, just daily care and six-month checkups
- Implant-supported dentures and partials require no adhesive
- Implant-supported prosthetics will not slip out of place
- Dental implants promote bone retention, while missing teeth promote bone loss
- Dental implants can last a lifetime
If you want to enjoy a smile that rivals nature's best, consider dental implants. Dr. Lide will consult with you to determine if you're a candidate. He will then refer you to a trusted specialist for the surgical portion of the process. Call our dental office today to schedule your appointment. We serve patients from Richardson, Dallas, Plano, Addison, Garland, Rockwall and beyond.
