Emergency Dental Implants Plano, TX

Accidents can happen at any time. If something happens to one of your teeth in your “cosmetic zone” (the teeth that everyone can see upfront), whether it gets damaged or knocked out completely, then you need to visit Dr. Bradley Dean. If the tooth cannot be saved, then it will need to be extracted.

It is important to fix it as soon as possible so that you don’t have to walk around for months with a big gap in your smile. That’s why we offer emergency dental implants at our Plano, Texas dental office.

The Benefits of Emergency Dental Implants

There are many reasons to get a dental implant immediately after a tooth has been damaged and lost. Going without even a single tooth will cause the jawbone to begin deteriorating. Once a person suffers from bone loss, an expensive bone graft may be required in the future.

Leaving a gap in your smile will cause your other teeth to shift and can just be embarrassing. Who wants to walk around worrying about their appearance and feeling too embarrassed to smile? Finally, getting an emergency dental implant will eliminate any discomfort and protect your mouth from decay and infection.

Getting an emergency dental implant will eliminate the amount of future dental work and surgeries.

Am I A Candidate For Emergency Dental Implants?

In order for Dr. Dean to be able to place dental implants, you must not have periodontal disease or any tooth decay. You must also be in good overall health. If there are signs of infection or decay, then you will have less chance of your implants being successful.

You must also have good bone density to ensure that the implant will fuse with your jaw bone. These factors are to ensure that you have a strong foundation for your implant-supported tooth.

 

Here’s how emergency dental implants work:

First, Dr. Dean will extract the tooth or tooth remnants that have been damaged. We offer a variety of sedation dentistry techniques for your comfort. Immediately following the tooth removal, Dr. Dean will surgically place the dental implant in the empty tooth socket during the same appointment.

We will place a temporary tooth restoration, such as a dental crown, that has been color-matched to your natural smile. While your implants are healing, you will wear the temporary restoration so that your smile looks and functions great during the healing process. It’s that easy, and fast! After the implant has completely fused with the bone creating a stable foundation, you will return to your general dentist for a permanent tooth replacement.

Is there a temporary tooth while waiting for an implant?

While waiting for an implant, we can place a temporary crown until you are ready for your implant to be placed. Crowns are an aesthetic option that are temporary until you receive your permanent restoration. Crowns look and function like your natural teeth, however they are not a permanent restoration.
