The Best Option For A Missing Tooth Read Transcript
The Best Option For A Missing Tooth

Dental implants are by far my favorite aspect of dentistry. Essentially, it's like putting a titanium root back in the bone or a manmade root back in the bone. And so it serves as a wonderful anchor for individual teeth. You can put an implant in for a single missing tooth and put a crown on top of that, and it looks just like a natural tooth. It's also incredibly effective in anchoring dentures. So, people that have a lower denture that wobbles, that rubs sore spots on them, implants, you can put those in the bone and have the denture latch onto them. And it doesn't move. It's so comfortable. People can eat what they want and it restores their chewing force. Of all the applications of implants, that's probably the one that I see as the most life-changing, is anchoring a denture to implants.

  • Eat and enjoy all your favorite foods again
  • Dine out comfortably without having to pick and choose
  • Aid your digestion through more complete chewing
  • Look younger, healthier, and more robust
  • Speak more plainly so others can understand you
  • Improve your oral and total body health
  • Boost your confidence when meeting new people

Call the smile team at Starr General Dentistry today at 254-401-0129 to schedule your dental implants consultation. Besides cozy pillows and blankets, you can also take your choice of sedation options if you’re nervous about your implant treatment.

Implants Give You Back Your Biting Power

Teeth implants have been around in one form or another for hundreds of years, as humans have always looked for innovative ways to replace their missing teeth. Today’s implants are usually made from high-quality, medical-grade titanium. That’s because titanium chemically fuses with the bone in the jaw, becoming one with it as new bone material grows around the implant over the course of a few months.

After this healing period, your new implants will be ready to support your replacement teeth. Your treatment will be designed based on your unique needs and wants. Below are some of the many options we have for implant-secured replacement teeth:

  • Single Implant With a Crown – Your dentist will place an implant where your tooth is missing, then secure a new crown on top to restore your bite and fill in your smile.
  • Implant-Supported Bridge – We’ll design a bridge to span the gap in your smile left by several missing teeth in a row. It will anchor in place using two or more implants.
  • Implant-Retained Dentures – For outstanding performance from your dentures, we’ll secure them to a set of dental implants using a socket-and-ball system.
  • Implant-Supported Dentures – These are our most comfortable and best-performing dentures, as they anchor to implants using a sturdy metal bar.
  • All-on-4® – We can give you a full arch of beautiful replacement teeth using just four precisely placed implants. Leave our office with a beautiful, healthy smile.
  • All-on-6 – Instead of four implants per arch, we’ll use six implants to give your new teeth added stability.

When you need to get your missing teeth back, there’s no better way to do it than with Waco dental implants from Starr General Dentistry. Call us today at 254-401-0129 to make an appointment, or if it’s more convenient.

Professional yet comfortable hygienist. Technically sound. Easy to interact with. Dentist was also very professional. I liked, as we briefly talked about options, that he advised a conservative approach in my case. Again, the experience was such that I knew I was in the care of experts but also with good relational skills. I would recommend them!

My most recent appointment was really good, quick and the folks are so nice there. They gave me advice on a dental insurance plan. The ladies at the front desk are the best given the new protocol (COVID) and all the questions. I feel safe and comfortable there which is saying a lot since I have some fear of dental work.

I have never had a bad experience with either the late Dr. Starr or his sons. I also think my hygienist, Summer, is spectacular. The office staff always have a smile and are hugely helpful.

Common Questions About Dental Implants

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are prosthetic replacements for the roots of missing teeth. Modern implants are typically titanium posts or screws that are placed into your jawbone. These act as anchors for your replacement teeth, whether dental crowns, bridges, or dentures. This makes those restorations stronger and more secure, so they function and feel like natural teeth.

What is the dental implant process?

The simple answer is that we assess the condition of your jaw to make sure it can support an implant or implants. If you are a good candidate, we place the implants painlessly with the help of local anesthesia and dental sedation. When you recover, we can attach your replacement teeth to your implants. With the All-on-4® procedure, you can get replacement teeth on the same day that you get your implants.

Which dental implants are best?

This depends on how many teeth you need to replace and somewhat on your personal preferences. If you need to replace a single tooth or multiple teeth, then an implant-supported crown or implant-supported bridge is best. If you need to replace a full arch of teeth, we offer a variety of implant-secured dentures. We will answer any questions you have so you can pick the right option for you.
