If you’re suffering from tooth loss, dental implants are the most preferred solution to replace missing teeth—no matter if you’re missing one tooth or all of your teeth. Implants are the perfect solution to fill the missing space using prosthetic teeth that are surgically inserted into the jawbone. While implants have a nearly 100 percent success rate, the success of your implants will depend on properly caring for dental implants. With the right maintenance and care, your implants can last a lifetime.

Affordable Option for Missing Teeth with All-on-Four
March 11, 2016
All on Four dental implants are a preferred choice for people who are missing all of their teeth on their top or bottom jaw. The implants are surgically inserted into the jaw bone just as with implanting a single tooth. However, instead of each tooth being implanted individually, a full arch dental prosthetic is used. The arch is implanted using only 4 implant posts, making it less invasive than replacing each tooth individually. While you may be thinking that it’s just another form of dentures, there are clear differences between regular dentures and this implant option. Piney Point Dental Implant Center is here to help you understand the differences.

Can children get dental implants?
February 10, 2016
While dental implants are the preferred option for many adult patients suffering from one or more missing teeth, the same isn’t always true for children. Kids can experience missing teeth for a number of reasons, primarily facial trauma resulting from accidents, or simple genetics — when a permanent tooth just doesn’t appear. And when tooth loss happens to your little one, you may hope that a viable replacement option can be found in dental implants. Unfortunately, it’s just not the case — but that doesn’t mean it never will be. Keep reading to learn why children are rarely good candidates for dental implants, and which other options that may suit them better until they are eligible for the treatment.

Take a Walk Through an Ideal Implant Procedure
January 22, 2016
Would you rather replace your tooth or restore your tooth? Traditional tooth replacement options do a great job of filling in the gaps in your smile after tooth loss, but only dental implants fully restore the entire tooth. There’s nothing more appealing than a beautiful smile, and no one knows that better than the Piney Point Dental Implant Center team. That’s why we offer dental implants to support crowns for single tooth replacement, bridges replacing two or three consecutive teeth, and as well as partial and full dentures. Because the entire dental structure is restored, root and biting surface, implant-supported dental prosthetics look, feel, and function just like your natural smile. Call to find out more about the dental implants Houston, TX residents trust from Piney Point Dental Implant Center.

Get New Teeth-In-An-Hour with Dental Implants
January 10, 2016
At Piney Point Dental Implant Center, we believe that everyone should feel confident when they smile — and we know that’s impossible when teeth are missing or severely damaged. That’s why your Houston dental implant specialists are here to provide you with all possible options in dental implants to get your smile back to the one you know and love.
Traditional dental implants are a great solution with one big downside: aside from being more expensive, they also require a wait time of three to six months (or sometimes longer, depending on the condition of the jaw), a period during which you may be without stable teeth. For many of our patients, that’s just too long. We have some good news: now, that wait time can be eliminated with Teeth-In-An-Hour, implanted right here at our Houston office. Read on to learn more about this exciting option in implant dentistry.
