When you have damaged or missing teeth, you need a replacement tooth option that functions just like your natural teeth. Dental implants can help your replacement tooth or teeth (such as a crown or bridge) function like your natural tooth. Implants function similarly to your tooth root, providing a solid foundation for your tooth restoration.
At Broadway Dental of Pearland, we provide dental implant services, including single implants and implant-supported dentures. With dental implants, your new replacement tooth will function as naturally as the rest of your smile.

What You Need to Know about Dental Implants
Dental implants are a tooth root replacement method that mimics the way natural teeth roots work. The dental implant and restoration treatment involves two major steps: placing the implant post and adding the replacement tooth.
First, the dentist will place the dental implant itself, which is a titanium post and abutment. The post is placed into your jaw and assimilates with the existing bone. Once healed, it functions like a natural tooth root and creates a strong foundation for the replacement tooth. The abutment is a small connector piece on top of the post that will connect the replacement tooth to the implant.
After the implant is fully healed, a replacement tooth is attached to the abutment. The replacement tooth is often a dental crown. The crown is matched to the exact shade of your remaining teeth, so it blends in seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
Our Dental Implant Services
At Broadway Dental of Pearland, we offer many different dental implant options to suit our patients’ needs. So, whether you need one new tooth or to replace all of your teeth, dental implants are a durable foundation for your new smile.
Here are our dental implant services:
Individual Dental Implants
When you have one damaged or missing tooth, an individual dental implant will replace the missing tooth root. With single dental implants, the process is rather straightforward.
If you have damaged or missing teeth in various locations around your mouth, getting an individual dental implant for each tooth can help restore your smile’s functionality.
Implant Bridges
When you are missing a few teeth in a row, an implant-supported bridge is a durable, aesthetically pleasing way to replace your teeth. You’ll receive two dental implant restorations (the dental implant plus the replacement tooth) that support the bridge (an additional replacement tooth without an implant).
This method can be much more effective and less time-consuming than receiving multiple single implants.
Implant-Supported Dentures
If you are missing multiple teeth, an implant-supported denture may be the best option. With implant-supported dentures or snap-on dentures, you can have a full arch or entire mouth of new teeth with only a few dental implants.
Implant-supported dentures also look and work much more naturally than traditional dentures.
Call for an Appointment
Whether you have one missing tooth or need implant dentures, dental implants can help restore the functionality of your smile. After receiving dental implants, you can live your life without the issues damaged or missing teeth can cause.
