Losing a tooth doesn’t just affect your appearance—it can also impact your ability to chew, speak clearly, and maintain jawbone health. At Shifa Dental in Plano, TX, our dental implants provide a strong, natural-looking solution that restores both your smile and your confidence.
🌟 What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once healed, they serve as a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures.
✅ Benefits of Dental Implants
- Permanent Solution – Unlike dentures, implants don’t shift or loosen.
- Natural Look & Feel – Designed to match your existing teeth.
- Jawbone Preservation – Prevents bone loss and facial sagging.
- Restores Functionality – Eat, speak, and smile with ease.
- No Damage to Neighboring Teeth – Unlike dental bridges.
🦷 Who’s a Good Candidate?
- Missing one or more teeth
- Healthy gums and adequate jawbone
- Non-smokers or willing to quit
- Committed to oral hygiene
If you lack sufficient bone density, a bone graft may be recommended before the implant procedure.
🛠️ The Dental Implant Process
- Consultation & X-rays
We evaluate your oral health and create a customized treatment plan. - Implant Placement
The titanium post is surgically inserted into the jawbone under local anesthesia or sedation. - Healing Period (3–6 months)
Osseointegration occurs—your jawbone fuses with the implant. - Abutment & Crown Placement
Once healed, a connector (abutment) and a custom crown are attached.
🧼 Caring for Your Implant
- Brush and floss daily
- Regular dental checkups
- Avoid chewing hard items (ice, pens, etc.)
- Use an antibacterial mouthwash if recommended
