Discover Permanent Tooth Replacement with Dental Implants in Frisco, TX
Struggling with missing teeth? You have a superior alternative to removable dentures!
At Jensen Orthodontic Arts, we specialize in delivering advanced dental implant services to patients in Frisco, providing a strong, beautiful, and lasting solution for your smile.
Implant Care Planned by an Orthodontist and Prosthodontist
Dr. Jensen is one of only a handful of doctors in North America with a dual specialty in orthodontics and prosthodontics. That makes a real difference with implants. A prosthodontist is the specialist trained to plan and restore replacement teeth, and an orthodontist controls where your natural teeth sit around the gap. Dr. Jensen does both, so your bite, your spacing, and your new tooth are planned together instead of being passed back and forth between offices.
Dr. Jensen plans your treatment, places the implant himself, and designs your final crown, bridge, or denture, so you never have to bounce between offices. A lot of Frisco patients come to us because their case involves more than just one missing tooth, like:
- Teeth that never came in: When adult teeth never develop, most often the lateral incisors next to the front teeth, orthodontic treatment can open or close that space before an implant goes in.
- Implants after braces or clear aligners: Teeth often need to be moved first so there is the right amount of room for an implant that looks natural.
- Replacing teeth removed for orthodontic treatment: If teeth were taken out for orthodontics in the past, we can look at whether dental implants or moving teeth is the better way to restore your smile. Our post on whether you need an extraction or implant before orthodontic treatment walks through it.
- Replacing most or all of your teeth: Implant-supported dentures give you a secure fit that removable dentures cannot match.
Our office at 3595 S Custer Rd, Suite 200 in McKinney is a short drive from Frisco.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is an innovative device surgically placed into your jawbone, acting as a new tooth root. Crafted from biocompatible titanium, these implants create a stable, permanent foundation for your replacement teeth. Whether you need a single crown, a bridge, or secure, implant-supported dentures, Dr. Jensen can design the perfect prosthetic for you. They offer an excellent, long-term solution for teeth lost due to injury, disease, or other reasons.
Dental Implants vs. Dentures: The Frisco Choice
When considering dental implants in Frisco TX, it's helpful to understand their advantages over traditional dentures:
- Permanence: Implants are a fixed, permanent solution, unlike removable dentures.
- Durability & Feel: Implants are significantly more durable and feel and look much more like your natural teeth.
- Bone Health: A critical benefit is that dental implants help prevent bone loss in your jaw, which can often be accelerated by dentures.
The Dental Implant Restoration Process
The journey to your restored smile involves a few carefully planned steps over several months:
- Personalized Plan: Dr. Jensen and our team will create a precise plan for placing your titanium implant post, abutment, and final restoration.
- Implant Placement: Dr. Jensen will surgically place the titanium post directly into your jawbone, often using sedation dentistry for your comfort.
- Healing & Integration: A crucial healing period follows, typically a few months, during which the implant fuses directly with your jawbone (osseointegration) to create a robust foundation.
- Abutment Placement: Once fused, the specialist attaches a small connector piece called an abutment to the implant.
- Restoration: Finally, Dr. Jensen will securely attach your custom-made replacement tooth (crown, bridge, or denture) to the abutment.
After your dental health is beautifully restored, Dr. Jensen and our team at Jensen Orthodontic Arts are dedicated to providing personalized orthodontic care, ensuring you achieve the healthy, radiant smile you truly deserve.
