Dental Implants
Losing a natural tooth is more than just a cosmetic issue—it can impact your overall health and self-confidence. Fortunately, at Citrus Smiles, we offer durable solutions for tooth replacement, including dental implants in Murphy, Wylie, Heath and Lucas TX. Dr. Aurora will carefully evaluate your oral cavity and create a personalized plan tailored to your needs and requirements. With this treatment, you will be able to enjoy your favorite meals and show off your beautiful smile!
Am I A Good Candidate For Dental Implants
Many individuals who have lost one or more teeth and are looking for permanent replacement can benefit from dental implants. At the time of your initial consultation, our dental professionals will examine your oral cavity to determine if you are a good candidate for this procedure.
The primary requirements for this treatment are good oral health and adequate bone thickness. Those who do not follow oral hygiene practices have an increased risk of implant failure. Bone thickness also plays a crucial role in the success of this treatment. If you have bone loss or insufficient bone, we may recommend additional procedures like bone grafting to replenish your jawbones.
We will also record your medical history and note down conditions (diabetes, heart disease, etc.) that can impact this treatment. After considering all factors, our skilled dentist will customize the treatment plan to suit your needs.
Benefits of Dental Implants
The unique and realistic design of dental implants has made them a popular option for permanent tooth replacement. Their benefits include:
- Implants can replace both the crown and root part of a tooth, unlike other tooth replacements that only replace the crown.
- Due to their life-like design, they look and feel like your natural teeth.
- They can restore any number of missing teeth, from one tooth to a full arch.
- They are biocompatible, meaning they adapt well to your oral tissues.
- They merge with the surrounding jawbone, which provides utmost retention and stability.
- You can enjoy your favorite foods and speak much more comfortably.
- By replacing the missing teeth, they enhance the cosmetic appeal of your smile.

The Dental Implant Process
The placement of dental implants requires extreme precision and expertise. Our dental team will record X-rays and scans to decide the type, position, and placement technique. The main step of the process is implant surgery, during which we will create a small hole in the jawbone and secure the metal post.
This is followed by a recovery period that may last 3 to 6 months. In this phase, the implant post will fuse with the surrounding bone. After proper healing, we will place a small abutment (a connecting metal piece) and cover it with the desired restoration.
It could be either a crown, bridge, or full-arch denture, depending on the number of missing teeth.
With proper oral care and hygiene maintenance, dental implants can last for several years. Our professionals will also provide helpful guidelines to prolong the lifespan of this treatment.
