Dental Implants For Your Missing Tooth
Dental implants are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, which rest on top of the gums, dental implants are surgically implanted into the jawbone. This provides a strong foundation for artificial teeth, and also helps to preserve the natural shape of the face. Dental implants can be used to support a single tooth, a dental bridge, or even a full set of dentures. In addition, they can be placed in either the upper or lower jaw. In medical terms, there are two types of dental implants:
- Endosteal
- Subperiosteal
The definition of these terms may be confusing to you! However, the dental implant experts at Shifa Dental will explain the restorative dentistry options to you and a suggest you the best treatment plan
Types of Tooth Implants
Single Tooth Implant:
This process refers to implanting a single tooth. If someone is missing one tooth, and they wish to opt for an implant, then they should go for this category of implant. In this process the tooth as well as the root is replaced.
Multiple Tooth Implants:
As the name suggests, this process replaces several teeth in a patient’s mouth.
All on 4 Dental Implants:
In this process, all the teeth are replaced.
Our expert dentists perform dental implants on patients who fulfill the basic criteria and eligibility for this surgery and they must have good oral health. This process requires that the bones in the candidate’s jaw be in their best form. Additionally, one must have sufficient bones in their jaw. Throughout the process, periodontists are made available at Shifa Dental to consult and guide the patient. Periodontists deal with this particular area of the mouth, and therefore, their inputs are highly valued.
After a successful dental implant, our dentists will prepare a care plan for your teeth. They will recommend flossing and brushing your teeth. Periodontists work closely with our Plano dentists to monitor the affected teeth/tooth. This ensures that you do not face any issues later.
Benefits of Dental Implant
When most people lose their teeth, one question keeps them up at night: how much does a dental implant cost? That question matters and the answer will vary depending on the number of implants you need, the type, and the location. But the cost of a dental implant is always worth the benefits they bring to the table, including:

Appearance
A missing tooth can ruin your appearance, changing the shape of your face and making you look older. A dental implant does the opposite. It enhances your appearance, reversing the signs of aging, especially in situations where your face has started to sag because of the missing teeth.
Food
Mealtimes are more enjoyable for people with implants because they can access their full chewing power. Implants are just as efficient at chewing as natural teeth.
Health
Dental implants can improve and maintain the health of your gum. When a dentist extracts a tooth, the empty gap becomes a trap that bacteria can inhabit down the line, causing gum disease.
Bone Loss
Here at Shifa Dental, we are determined to protect your face from bone loss by replacing missing teeth. Some of our patients don’t realize that tooth extraction encourages bone loss because the empty space in the jawbone lacks the necessary stimulation. Our implants can prevent this from happening.
Longevity
If you maintain optimal oral hygiene, your implants will last forever. Implants have a titanium construction that is strong, long-lasting, non-toxic, and bio-compatible.
