Dental Implants Corpus Christi, TX

Dental implants consist of two parts – an implant post and an implant restoration. The implant posts are made of a biocompatible material, such as titanium, and replace the tooth roots. Dr. Sophie Nabavi surgically places the implant posts into your jawbone using state-of-the-art technology to ensure optimal placement and precision.

After the implant post is placed, a healing period is typically necessary to allow the bone to bond with the titanium post. This process, known as osseointegration, ensures that the implant is firmly anchored, providing a stable base for the prosthetic tooth or teeth that will eventually complete your smile. During this healing period, temporary restorations can sometimes be used to maintain aesthetics and functionality while the bone heals around the implant.

Once your dental implant has successfully integrated with the jawbone, our skilled dentist will place the final restoration on top. The type of restoration varies depending on the number and location of missing teeth, as well as your specific dental needs. For a single missing tooth, a custom dental crown will often be crafted to fit seamlessly with your other teeth. For multiple missing teeth, a dental bridge or even a full-arch denture may be the preferred choice. Each restoration is tailored to ensure a natural look and comfortable fit, designed to blend in perfectly with your existing teeth.
