Dental Implants in Bellaire, TX
A Permanent and Appealing Solution for Missing Teeth
Dental implants are a permanent and appealing solution to replace missing or extracted teeth. At Olara Dental, we offer implant dentistry that restores both function and aesthetics, giving you the confidence to eat, speak, and smile naturally again.
Implants are better than other alternatives, like bridges, because no additional teeth need to be altered to place the new tooth. Each implant stands independently, preserving the integrity of surrounding teeth and supporting long-term oral health.
What Makes Dental Implants Different
Implants are designed to mimic the structure of natural teeth. Each one consists of:
- A titanium screw placed into the jaw bone
- An abutment that connects the implant to the crown
- A custom restoration that looks and feels like your original tooth
This structure allows implants to function like real teeth—stable, durable, and visually seamless.
The entire implant process is performed over the course of a few months, allowing for proper healing and integration.
The Dental Implant Process at Olara Dental
Step 1: Implant Placement
We begin by placing the implant itself. A small incision is made in the gum, and a titanium screw is inserted into the jaw bone. Multiple implants can be placed during the same visit if needed. Once placed, the gums are sutured to begin the healing phase.
Step 2: Healing and Osseointegration
Over the next 3 to 6 months, the jaw bone forms around the implant in a process called osseointegration. This creates a stable foundation for your new tooth. During this time, temporary crowns may be installed so you can eat and speak normally while maintaining a natural appearance.
Step 3: Abutment and Final Restoration
Once healing is complete, we place an abutment on the implant. This serves as the base for your permanent crown. An impression of the abutment is taken and sent to our trusted dental lab to fabricate your final restoration. When ready, the crown is permanently attached—restoring your smile with precision and care.
