Dental Implants
Pasadena Texas Cosmetic Dentist Michael Nugent is a leader in Dental Implants. Dental implants are the most advanced and best way to replace missing teeth. Don’t let old fashioned dentist who have not kept current with dentistry talk you into a dental bridge. Dental bridges fail and cause major problems.
Dental bridges require cutting down health adjacent teeth. The teeth that are cut down have an increased chance of the nerve dying. Hello Root Canal! Plus, patients can’t clean around the bridge easily and the teeth get decay. Root canals often fail. This leads to big problems and bigger expenses.
Dental implants avoid all the problems of bridges. Dental implants do not damage adjacent teeth. Dental implants will never get decay and will never need a root canal.
Patient got an old fashioned bridge. Now the bridge is failing.
The red shows all the bone lost from the bridge. The purple shows the decay. This bridge was four crowns stuck together. Super hard for the patient to clean.
Dr. Nugent completed a dental implant on the patient and fixed all of her problem. There was a huge bone defect caused by the dental bridge. Therefore, only one dental implant was used. Patient can now eat and talk normally.
Happy Patient with her new dental implant.
A Time-tested Method for Replacing Missing Teeth
Every tooth in your mouth contributes to the overall appearance and health of your smile. Even the loss of a single tooth can have a significant influence on dental health and function, which is why Dr. Nugent always advise patients to replace a lost tooth as soon as possible. Dental implants, a permanent technique to replace one or more missing teeth, is the best way to replace missing teeth. In fact, Dr. Nugent has done dental implants on his wife, Mother and Father. Dental implants are intended to operate similarly to natural teeth by replacing the complete tooth from root to tip. At our Pasadena, Texas dental office, we provide full-service dental implant treatment, so you can have your implants placed and treated by a single skilled team. Dental implants are a amazing solution for many individuals to replace missing teeth while maintaining or improving the esthetics of their smile.

How Dental Implants Function
Dental implants are tooth structures that are surgically implanted into the jaw bone to replace a lost tooth. The jaw bone is at danger of bone loss when a tooth is pulled or lost since there is no longer a tooth root to stimulate it. Our surgeons can undertake surgery to link the implant’s base to the jaw bone. As the implant post heals, it begins to merge with the normal bone, forming a firm foundation for the rest of the implant construction. This procedure also restores your smile’s normal functioning. Once the foundation is in place, we can place a dental crown on top of the gum line, or if we’re replacing a complete arch, a denture or bridge. This improves your bite and gives you a more uniform appearance.
