When patients suffer from tooth loss, they often seek the longest lasting solutions. While dentures and bridges can restore missing teeth, dental implants can far outlast other restorations. With good oral hygiene habits, patients can enjoy dental implants for a lifetime. Longevity is just one of the many benefits of the dental implants provided by Dr. Clint Bruyere at his Longview, TX dental practice.

Exploring dental implants

During a consultation appointment, Dr. Bruyere will explore your candidacy for dental implants. He will check the health of your oral tissues and see if your jawbone has reached full growth. It is critical to have healthy oral tissues and adequate bone to secure the dental implants. He also will examine the extent of tooth loss. Dental implants can be ideal for restoring one or more missing teeth. You will discuss your goals for treatment. They may include improving your speech, enjoying the foods you love with a restored ability to bite and chew, and increasing your self-esteem with new, beautiful restorations. Whatever your goals may be, you will work with Dr. Bruyere to create a treatment plan.

The benefits of dental implants

Dental implants can help you achieve your goals for a healthier and more beautiful smile, and can:

• Restore your ability to pronounce certain words properly.
• Ensure you can eat the foods you enjoy by restoring your ability to bite and chew.
• Improve your self-confidence when laughing, speaking, and smiling.

Learning about dental implant treatment

Dr. Bruyere works with a highly skilled oral surgeon or periodontist to perform the oral surgery, which involves gently placing titanium rods into the jawbone. The dental implants serve as tooth roots. During a process called osseointegration, the bone will fuse to the implants. After a healing period, you will meet with Dr. Bruyere for the final stage of the procedure. He can place dental crowns, a dental bridge, or denture onto the implants to complete the treatment.
