\"EmbarrassedYou feel embarrassed when you talk with other people. You\u2019ve stopped eating out with friends and family because chewing your food is challenging. You hide your smile in photos.

The Consultation<\/h2>\n

Implant dentistry<\/a> always starts with a consultation so your dentist can evaluate your oral health and take x-rays to ensure that you have enough healthy jawbone to properly support your dental implant.<\/p>\n

Your consultation is also a great time for you to ask any questions you may have about dental implants or the process of completing treatment.<\/p>\n

Implant Placement<\/h2>\n

The next step of the process is to place your dental implant. We partner with a highly trained and experienced board certified oral surgeon who will place your dental implant during a simple surgical procedure here at our office. This ensures that you get to work with the staff you are familiar with and trust throughout the entire process.<\/p>\n

Your implant is given 3 to 6 months to heal and fuse with your bone during a process called osseointegration. This is how your implant takes the place of your root and actually becomes a part of your dental anatomy.<\/p>\n

The Restoration<\/h2>\n

Once your implant is fully integrated with your jawbone, it is ready for the restoration. Your dentist in Keller will design a crown that will attach to your implant with an abutment and seamlessly blend with your smile. Your new tooth will also provide the same function of eating and chewing with ease that you lost when your tooth was failing.<\/p>\n
