Even though you have lost teeth, you don't have to give up the hope of a magnificent smile. Dental implants, small, titanium posts surgically placed in your jawbone, closely imitate the look and feel of natural teeth. Patients can smile with renewed self-assurance and eat whatever they like after they receive replacement teeth with dental implants.
For successful implant therapy, patients need adequate bone structure to support dental implants. Dr. Davey and Dr. Wheeler have invested in CAT Scan technology to help them determine the level of bone density and the optimal position for the implants. CAT Scan technology allows for a level of precision and accuracy not previously attainable, making implant placement highly predictable and successful.
If dental implants are right for you, implant dentist Dr. Davey will surgically insert the tiny implant posts into the jaw using CAT Scan guided implant technology. Your mouth will need time to heal and for the dental implants to fuse with your jawbone; then, Dr. Davey or Dr. Wheeler will permanently attach a custom crown on each post, or a bridge or denture to a few posts, restoring the beauty and function of your smile.
Call our Sugar Land dental office today for your comprehensive examination and consultation with Dr. Davey or Dr. Wheeler. We welcome residents of Sugar Land, Houston, Katy, Richmond, and the surrounding areas to our practice.
What do powdered fruit, talc, honey, dried
flowers, mice and lizard livers have in common? They have all
been ingredients in ancient toothpaste and powder. Yum.
Attention Chocolate Lovers…Many dentists
agree raisins can cause more tooth decay than chocolate. Sticky
foods such as raisins and dried fruits can stay on the teeth
longer and develop more decay.
According to a study at the University of
Connecticut, too much toothpaste early in life is responsible
for more than 70% of fluorosis cases (staining or mottling of
tooth enamel that develops when children swallow fluoridated
toothpaste). Although this problem is only cosmetic, it is recommended
children under six only use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste
and be reminded to spit it out after brushing.
