When an adult tooth is lost, it won’t grow back. But artificial teeth supported by dental implants from William J. Stewart Jr. DDS in San Antonio are an amazing replacement option!
Dental implants are titanium posts that are placed in your jaw, where they fuse with the bone. They can support artificial teeth that look and function like the real thing. One implant can support one artificial tooth, while several can support a full dental arch.
Benefits
Supporting lifelike replacement teeth are one of the biggest benefits of dental implants. Your ability to bite and chew is virtually normal. And that’s to say nothing of your restored smile!
But implants do even more. When a tooth is lost the bone around it begins to deterioriate. In time that results in a sunken appearance in the face. Dental implants help to prevent that loss of bone mass.
Having an implant inserted into your jaw bone is, strictly speaking, a surgical procedure. Most patients breeze through it and are able to resume their usual activities by the next day. Post-procedure discomfort is usually mild and can be controlled with over-the-counter pain medication.

We offer single dental implants and implant-supported dentures, and have placed them in patients in Shavano Park, Leon Springs, and Beorne. We also offer complete family dentistry services.
