Dental Implants
Missing teeth make it difficult to chew and speak, and can rob you of your confidence. Fortunately, modern dentistry has a solution.
Dental implants provide the ultimate foundation for replacement teeth while preventing jawbone atrophy after tooth loss.
Dumas Family Dental in Dumas, TX, can place and restore your dental implants to fully rehabilitate your bite.
Implants are titanium devices that replace lost tooth roots. This landmark in dentistry can provide a wealth of benefits, including:
Incredible Support
Your dental implant can support tooth replacement solutions like a crown, bridge, or denture, keeping them firmly in place at all times. With implant-supported restorations, you can enjoy all of your favorite foods again (even steaks and apples) and smile with confidence.
Prevention of Jawbone Atrophy
In the aftermath of tooth loss, your jawbone will shrink and change shape, leading to a sunken appearance and threatening the health and stability of the surrounding teeth. Dental implants provide the stimulation necessary to prevent these changes.
Lifelong Support
Though your crown, bridge, or denture will eventually need to be repaired or replaced, implants can last a lifetime. Simply practicing good oral hygiene and scheduling regular checkups with your dentist can give you decades of benefits.

Mini Dental Implants
Exploring Your Dental Options in Dumas, TX
If you have a small mouth or lack the bone density to support a traditional implant, mini dental implants are an alternative option that can support your restoration. Mini dental implants are about half the diameter of a traditional implant, and the top consists of a small metal ball instead of an abutment. Mini dental implants can do everything a traditional implant can do, including support dentures. We can determine the right implant for you during your initial appointment.
