Did you know there are two methods for completing <\/span>dental implants<\/span><\/a>: those that are placed and receive the connecting abutment in one visit, or one stage dental implants, and those that take two stages to complete? Keep reading to learn more about the difference in one stage and two stage dental implants in Houston, and which might be the best for your own tooth replacement.<\/span>\n\n\n

What Are Dental Implants?<\/span><\/h2>\nFirst, the basics. Dental implants are the best method for replacing one, two, or many missing teeth. That\u2019s because no other option in tooth replacement gives you back the missing root as well as the tooth that sits on top. Dental implants act as a prosthetic root to give your new smile the ultimate in stability. The procedure for dental implants can be completed in one or two stages.<\/span>\n

One Stage Dental Implants<\/span><\/h2>\nWhen conditions are ideal for dental implant placement, meaning there is plenty of supporting jawbone structure and a low risk for implant failure, one stage dental implants may be chosen. To complete this procedure, the implant dentist places the dental implants into the jawbone and attaches the connecting abutment in the very same visit. After a period of three to six months, once the gum has healed, the new tooth replacement will be placed. This method eliminates the need for the second surgery and speeds the process for dental implants.<\/span>\n\nSometimes, the new tooth replacement can be placed in the very same visit. This method is chosen in very special cases, when conditions are ideal for dental implants.<\/span>\n

Two Stage Dental Implants<\/span><\/h2>\nThe more traditional method for replacing teeth with dental implants is the two stage procedure. With this option, the oral surgeon places the implant into the jawbone and then closes the jaw to allow the gum to heal. After osseointegration has taken place over a period of four to eight months, the dental implants are exposed, and a connecting abutment will be placed in a second procedure with the oral surgeon. Once the treatment site has rehealed, the new tooth replacement will be placed on top.<\/span>\n

Houston Dental Implants: Which Method Is Right For You?<\/span><\/h2>\nYour implant dentist will decide whether you are best suited for one stage or two stage dental implants. Typically, patients who are ideal candidates for dental implants — who have plenty of bone structure, are in good oral and overall health, and have no immediate cosmetic need — can benefit from one stage dental implants.
