Dental implants can change all that.

At Pampa Dental Arts, Dr. Chris Mohr works with skilled specialists to provide dental implants that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. No more hiding your smile, avoiding certain foods, or worrying about dentures moving at inconvenient moments.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants look like tiny screws made of titanium and are designed to replace the missing tooth root. After placing the implant surgically in the jawbone, it fuses with the bone and tissue around it through a process called osseointegration. Once healed, the implant provides a strong foundation for attaching a replacement tooth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement, meaning they are the best of the best. They are the top choice of dentists and patients for numerous reasons, including:
Look and Function Like Natural Teeth
Dental implants are the closest thing to regrowing natural teeth. The visible portion is custom-made to match existing teeth in color, size, and shape, creating such a natural look and feel that even you might forget you have one!
Prevent Jawbone Loss
After tooth loss, the jawbone in the area commonly shrinks from a lack of stimulation. Unlike other tooth replacements, implants preserve bone to help prevent further tooth loss and maintain a more youthful-looking facial appearance.
Provide Ultimate Stability and Comfort
Forget about embarrassing slips or discomfort common with removable dentures. When supported by implants, dentures stay securely in place so you can eat, speak, and smile confidently, knowing your teeth will remain securely in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most adults with missing teeth are good candidates for dental implants, but certain factors can affect your suitability for this treatment. During your consultation, Dr. Mohr will evaluate:

Dental Implant Requirements

  • Jawbone Density — Successful implants need adequate bone to support them. If you've been missing teeth for some time, you may have experienced bone loss. In many cases, bone grafting procedures can build up the area to support implants.
  • Overall Health — Certain medical conditions, like uncontrolled diabetes or heart disease, may affect healing. Let Dr. Mohr know about all health conditions and medications during your consultation.
  • Gum Health — Healthy gums are important for implant success. If you have gum disease, we'll need to treat it before proceeding with implants.
  • Smoking Habits — Smoking significantly reduces implant success rates by affecting healing. Quitting smoking before implant placement greatly improves your chances of success.
  • Commitment to Oral Hygiene — Implants require diligent home care and regular dental visits to remain healthy.

Even if you've been told you're not an implant candidate, procedures like bone grafting or sinus lifts may be the solution you need. Dr. Mohr works with specialists who can address these needs, making implants possible. If traditional implants aren't right for you, we can discuss options like bridges or modern dentures to restore your smile.

The Dental Implant Process

Getting a dental implant involves several steps that occur over three to six months, beginning with a consultation with Dr. Mohr. During this visit, he'll:

  • Evaluate your oral health to see if we need to address any issues, such as gum disease, before referring you for an implant.
  • Describe your tooth replacement options
  • Take digital x-rays to evaluate bone structure
  • Explain how dental implants work and answer your questions
  • Refer you to a trusted specialist for further evaluation and implant placement

During implant surgery, the specialist carefully positions the titanium posts in the jawbone. The placement is followed by three to six months of healing as the implant integrates with the bone.

Throughout this process, Dr. Mohr works closely with the oral surgeon to monitor your progress. Once the implants have fully integrated, you'll return to Pampa Dental Arts for the final restoration (crown, bridge, or denture).
