Contact UsWhat are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a great solution when methods like temporary dentures or bridges are not ideal. Implants provide a number of benefits, including:
- Improved aesthetics: Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth.
- Natural speech: Implants do not slip or move around in your mouth, making speaking much more comfortable.
- Eat anything: Implants allow you to bite and chew most foods easily. There is no chance of your teeth slipping around or moving.
- Improved oral health: Unlike a bridge, dental implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support. This means that more of your natural teeth are left intact.
- Long-term solution: Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care.
What Are Dental Implants?
Replacing extracted or lost teeth are important to the general health and function of the mouth. The Dentist of Allen is incredibly excited to provide high-quality dental implants for tooth restoration. Implants serve as normal teeth in terms of capability and appearance and allow recipients to maintain a normal and healthy diet. An implant consists of a sturdy post that functions as an artificial tooth root, and a specially crafted crown, bridge, or full arch is used as the viewable part of the lost tooth (or teeth). Set up an appointment with our team in Allen, TX to find out more about our fixed implant solutions.
What Can I Expect from Dental Implants?
Getting fixed implants involves careful placement of the post and the attachment of a lifelike replacement of the visible portion, including full-arch dentures, bridges, and crowns. Once your mouth is prepped, it will be dulled with anesthesia. We may also use sedation to help you feel more at ease throughout your operation. The metal post will be strategically secured within your jawbone in a specific area. When the surgical site has healed (usually several months later), we will install a specially made implant crown, denture, or full-arch piece and assess the alignment of your bite.
Patients may notice some swelling, bruising, and pain at the site of an implant. Prescribed or over-the-counter pain relievers and cold compresses can help ease some post-op aches or pains. Once the titanium implant has fused with the jaw and the visible part of the implant is in place, it's essential to follow good oral hygiene with proper brushing and flossing techniques. When recipients visit The Dentist of Allen for regular appointments, we use precise tools to disinfect their implants and check their condition.
Am I A Good Candidate?
Implant-supported restorations are offered to replace any quantity of damaged teeth, from a single tooth to a whole mouthful. You may be considered an excellent candidate for implants if you suffer from the loss of teeth, need removals, or are dissatisfied with your current replacement. To function,dental implants need proper jawbone support, healthy gums, and a reliable oral environment, and some people could need other care before they qualify as good candidates. Implants might not be ideal if you are an expecting mother, smoke cigarettes, or have specific medical problems. During your session, our doctors can help you decide if implant-supported restorations are good for you.
The Dentist Of Allen Reviews
Very welcoming environment. Emily is the best hygienist ever! She always provides a very thorough cleaning. She is so personable, kind, and knowledgeable. I appreciate the care and honesty from all staff I’ve interacted with. They are also flexible and have easily accommodated me when I’ve needed to reschedule or push an appointment back. Would definitely recommend this place to a friend!
Dr. Koelker & Patsy are the best!! I am confident & comfortable with Dr. Koelker & his team. The whole office works well together and as a patient you are informed of treatment options & treatment cost. Will continue to come here for dental care.
My husband and I have been going to the Dentist of Allen for over 30 years. They are the best!! They use the latest technology and have dealt with all kinds of dental issues over the years. We trust them implicitly and highly recommend them.
Emily was great! She was an awesome hygienist and super kind. All of the staff are great there and I would recommend this dentist to anyone who is looking for one!
Shared with them that I’ve been a bit depressed lately, causing my teeth cleaning habits to diminish and she was incredibly understanding and respectful. She was gentle and engaged in really fun convo with me. Typically dentist offices just play like Christian radio which can get on my nerves. Thankfully that wasn’t the choice of music today and it made my experience much more enjoyable. Definitely recommend since this location seems to be a bit slower despite being directly off the highway.
