With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The implant post integrates permanently with your jawbone, and the crown on top may need replacement after 10 to 15 years due to normal wear.
Dental Implants in Amarillo, TX
Dental implants are the most complete and long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. At Pybus Dental in Amarillo, Texas, Dr. Charles Pybus provides dental implant treatment that restores your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Unlike removable dentures, implants are permanently anchored in your jawbone and look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
How Dental Implants Work
A dental implant consists of three parts: a biocompatible titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone, an abutment connector, and a custom dental crown. The post integrates with your bone over several months, creating a stable foundation. Once healed, the crown is attached to the abutment, completing the restoration.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Implants preserve jawbone density by stimulating the bone the way a natural root does. They do not require altering adjacent healthy teeth like a bridge does. They are fixed in place so there is no slipping or removal. And with proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
Who Is a Candidate
Most adults with adequate bone density and good overall health are candidates for implants. If you have experienced bone loss, bone grafting can often rebuild the site before implant placement. Dr. Pybus will evaluate your situation with 3D imaging and recommend the best approach.
Cost and Financing
We understand that dental implants are a significant investment. Pybus Dental offers flexible financing options including CareCredit, Amarillo National Bank no-interest loans, and Cherry financing to make implant treatment accessible.
