DENTAL IMPLANTS THAT FEEL RIGHT

GET YOUR BEAUTIFUL SMILE BACK WITH THE NU DENTISTRY TEAM

There are many different options on the market when it comes to restoring a missing tooth, each with their own advantages. At Nu Dentistry, we believe that dental implants are the best option over any other alternatives, including traditional dental bridges and dentures.

Dental implants are posts, either titanium or zirconia, surgically secured into the jawbone under your gums, attached by an abutment to a crown.

WHAT IS THE TOOTH IMPLANT PROCESS?

DURING THE IMPLANT PROCESS, WE WANT YOUR JOURNEY TO NEW TEETH TO BE A NO-BRAINER

CONSULTATION

Our dentists will thoroughly examine your mouth and discuss your options with you when it comes to replacing your missing tooth.

BONE GRAFT

When left alone too long, a tooth extraction or gum disease can deteriorate the jawbone, not leaving enough bone to hold an implant. A bone graft is needed to strengthen the jaw with new bone before the post or screw can be placed.

Our team will surgically implant the metal post into your jawbone and leave it to heal. We offer a range of anesthesia and sedation options to keep you comfortable and pain-free.

HEALING

Your mouth will be given time to heal so that the post fuses to the bone in a process known as osseointegration. This process can take longer, depending on the number of implants.

ABUTMENT

Once your jaw has fully healed, an abutment will be attached to the implant, ready to connect to your new teeth. The abutment can sometimes be completed at the same time as the implant.

CROWN

Finally, a crown custom-designed for your mouth will be attached to the abutment. Depending on your needs, a bridge or denture implants can be used instead of a crown.

SHOULD I GET A DENTAL IMPLANT?

WE ALWAYS KEEP YOU IN THE KNOW, SO YOU MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS POSSIBLE

Here at Nu Dentistry, we want to make sure you’re always more than satisfied with your dental care. Too many times, we’ve had patients who have had other dentists refer them for treatments that weren’t right for them. We know that there are a lot of variables and choices involved when it comes to your dental health. But even when it comes to dental emergencies, we’re here to help you make informed and educated decisions. There is no age limit when it comes to your dental implant. Patients as old as 85 and 95 have come in to start their new lease on life with their new teeth. To be a good candidate, you should have healthy gums and bone, as well as good overall health. If your jawbone has already deteriorated, we can perform a bone grafting operation to make your implant possible. Excellent oral hygiene is a plus because it will ensure the longevity and success of your implant. We offer a consultation, to begin with, so that we can help you decide if implants are the right choice for you.

WE'RE DEDICATED TO YOUR COMPLETE DENTAL HAPPINESS

Here at Nu Dentistry, we’re dedicated to you and your comfort. We always make sure your procedure is comfortable and stress-free. If you are nervous about your upcoming implant, we’re prepared to care for your needs. We offer multiple anesthesia and sedation options, including nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation, so you’re always at ease. We also have incredible luxuries available to you so you can watch Netflix or listen to music wirelessly and enjoy yourself throughout your procedure!

Types Of Dental Implants

In Order To Know Which Implant Is Right For You, You Have To Start By Knowing What Types Of Dental Implants Are Available

Single Tooth Implant

A missing tooth can be a source of low confidence. A single tooth implant from Nu Dentistry is the perfect solution for anyone looking for a long-term solution. Specializing in restorative dentistry, our dentist will replace your missing tooth and give you the look, feel and function of your natural teeth. Single tooth implants are not only secured to your jawbone, but they also last a lifetime helping you permanently restore your smile.

Front Tooth Implant

Missing a tooth or several front teeth can make you hesitate to smile. Luckily, with our front tooth implants, you can restore your smile and your teeth functionality. Our professional team of dentists at Nu Dentistry has years of experience providing implants for dental patients throughout Houston. Front tooth dental implants are a great replacement for missing front teeth. Apart from restoring functionality, they act as substitutes for tooth roots helping prevent bone deterioration. When done well and with proper care, dental implants last a lifetime.

Snap-on Implant Teeth

Losing several teeth can make daily activities like chewing uncomfortable. While conventional dentures are often the go-to solution, snap-on implant teeth are a better solution for many people. They are more comfortable, they restore your chewing abilities, and they also help you prevent further bone loss that come with tooth extractions.

Implant Bridge

Looking for a permanent solution for missing teeth? Dental implant bridges are a great way to replace one or more missing teeth. The implants are placed in the jawbone, and then the bridge is attached to the implants. The result is a dental restoration that looks and functions just like your natural teeth. One of the best things about dental implant bridges is that they help to preserve the health of your jawbone. When you lose a tooth, the bone around that tooth begins to deteriorate. Dental implants help to keep the bone healthy by stimulating it with every bite. As a result, dental implant bridges not only improve your smile, but they also help to keep your jawbone healthy and strong.

Implant Dentures

Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth and give you back your smile. However, the implant process can be costly and time-consuming. For patients who are not candidates for implant surgery, implant dentures offer a more affordable and convenient option. Implant dentures are held in place by surgically placed titanium posts, which provide support and stability. Unlike traditional dentures, implant dentures will not slip or move around in your mouth. In addition, implant dentures can help to preserve the bone structure in your jaw, preventing further tooth loss. If you are considering implant dentures, be sure to consult with a qualified dentist to see if they are right for you.

Dental Implant Questions

Dental implants can last for many years, but there’s no exact date for how long. It depends on several factors, such as the implant materials used, the implant’s location, and even the patient’s diet and dental hygiene habits. An implant with a titanium post and porcelain crown can last 25 years or more if a patient eats well, regularly brushes and flosses their teeth, and regularly attends dental cleanings.

Our dentists are experts when it comes to this procedure, and we make sure that your implants look just as natural as your real teeth. We take your new teeth’s color, shape, and size into account so that no one can pick them out in a lineup.

Patients in good dental and overall health are prime candidates for dental implants, running the smallest risk of possible complications. If you have existing health conditions like gum disease, diabetes, or cancer, you are likely still a good candidate for implants. These conditions, however, should be discussed with your dentist or periodontist.

Depending on your needs and how many teeth replaced, the cost of your new teeth can vary. However, we want to ensure you always receive affordable dental implants. We’ll work with you and your insurance, if you have it, to develop a payment plan and method that works best for you.

Bone grafting may be necessary if a patient waits too long between their extraction and implant surgeries. Within the first year, without further treatment, the patient can lose enough bone that there is not enough left for a post to be implanted in the jaw.

While having the same purpose, implants and bridges have a significant difference. A dental bridge replaces a missing tooth by cementing the replacement to its two neighbors with crowns, which can cause undue strain on the attached teeth. Implants, however, are one or more teeth inserted directly into the patient’s jaw, requiring surgery. While bridges need neighboring teeth to be effective, implants do not. It is also possible to receive full-mouth dental implants, such as with All-on-4 dental implants.

Mini dental implants use much smaller posts than traditional implants. Their size allows for shorter healing times. In some circumstances, the size can also make bone grafting surgery unnecessary since they need less supporting bone.

Implants are relatively painless! Our wide array of anesthesia and sedation options thoroughly numb the area. Our dentists ensure you are never uncomfortable or nervous during any part of the procedure.

Implants are directly attached to your jawbone, meaning they are not removable. However, there are implant-supported appliances such as dentures, which can be taken out. Our dentists will discuss with you the advantages of each so you can decide which is right for you.

Never Thought I'd Say It

I never thought I’d say it, but going to the dentist is actually fun now. I recently came in for a root canal, and I got to sit back and catch up on Stranger Things without any pain!

Anxiety Has Kept Me Away

I usually have such huge anxiety when I go to a dentist appointment, which means I always put off visits until the last minute to disastrous consequences. However, Dr. Loggins helped me with sedation, so the entire process was a breeze!

The Best Dentist In Houston
Sandra Archuleta

We have been looking for a family dentist for a long time. Not too long ago we met Dr. Ali. Not only was he professional, kind, and gentle, but he always finds a way to fit us in when we need an appointment. He’s also pretty funny! I appreciate that he takes the time to explain what he’s doing, before he does it. That really puts me at ease.

Part Of The Family
Anthony Fernandez

When I come in for an exam, Dr. Alrajab makes me feel like I’m a part of his family. I haven’t had a single cavity or filling done since I started coming here, which is a real change from my last hygienist.
