A beautiful, comfortable, functional smile requires a full set of strong, healthy teeth. If you\u2019ve lost one or more teeth to decay, trauma, or disease, our dentists can restore your quality of life with natural looking dental implants<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many patients turn to dental implants <\/strong>because they seek a prosthetic tooth or teeth that look and feels like nature intended. Implants <\/strong>feature a prosthetic root and crown, so they mimic natural tooth structure. No adhesives or clasps are required, and you will never have to worry about mouth irritation or embarrassing slippage. Cared for properly, dental implants <\/strong>can last a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Good oral health and adequate jawbone structure are necessary to support dental implants<\/strong>. If you’re a candidate, Drs. Cheng, Thorburn, Luk, and Cox can surgically place tiny titanium posts in your jaw, one for each implant crown or a few to support a bridge, partial, or denture. Some implants allow for immediate attachment of a restoration, while others require a healing process prior to attachment. Drs. Cheng, Thorburn, Luk, and Cox can consult with you to determine the best option for your unique case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To find out how dental implants<\/strong> can improve your smile, call our Fort Worth office<\/a> today to schedule your consultation with one of our skilled dentists. Our progressive dental practice is convenient to Crowley<\/strong>, Aledo<\/strong>, Weatherford<\/strong>, and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A beautiful, comfortable, functional smile requires a full set of strong, healthy teeth.
