After you have one or more teeth replaced with dental implants, you won’t have to worry about them developing tooth decay. You do, however, need to maintain good oral health and hygiene to protect the supporting bone and gum structure and enjoy a long-lasting tooth replacement. So how to care for your new Houston dental implants? Use these 4 steps: brush, clean between the implants, use a mouthwash, and visit your dentist for routine follow-up care.
3D printing is changing the way we think about the manufacture of everything from food to teaspoons and tablespoons. Even houses can be 3D printed, apparently — but what does it mean for you? If you’re missing one or more teeth, you could benefit from the application of 3D printing in implant dentistry. One recent case study shows that using cone beam technology (CBCT), powerful planning software, and an in-house 3D printer, implant dentists can create ultra-precise guides for more efficient, predictable, and ultimately successful Houston dental implants.
Hundreds of years ago, there weren’t many services you could have performed in one day. Laundry? Maybe, if it was sunny and the clothes dried in time. But today, you can have your entire wardrobe dry cleaned and in your closet in under 24 hours. The same is true with your dental implants (well… sort of). With new methods and an expert approach, your implant dentist at Piney Point Dental Implant Center can place and restore dental implants in Houston in just one day.
