Dental Implants at Cosmetic Dental Associates - Dr. John Moore San Antonio, TX Dentist
Dental implants is a new technology in dentistry that's really coming of age. There are certain situations that the only way you can fix it, the only way you can put a permanent solution in, is to use implants. The idea of it replacing the bridge, I think is a little bit premature. Because we've had a number of situation where that didn't turn out as well as just a regular bridge would have. In some instances I think it may be overplayed, but in others, it's shortcoming not to use the implant. Anytime you don't have any back teeth all the way to the rear that can support the bridge, an implant becomes the undeniable option.
If you have no other way of putting molders in the persons mouth permanently, because you don't have any to brace off of or hook onto, the implant becomes the perfect solution to that. Here, at cosmetic dental associates, we do all of the restorative things that you need to do to build that upper half of the implant case. There are a number of that work with us, placing the implants, a too. We get them placed, once they're sound and healthy, we come in after that and place the aesthetic restoration. Again, here comes the cosmetic challenge of this, is when you put that in there, does it look like a bolt with marble on the end of it, or does it look like a tooth that just grew out of the gum? That's the difference between cosmetic dentistry and regular dentistry. Regular dentistry, we just stick a tooth on there and we go, “Okay, it's a tooth, you can eat on it.” Or cosmetic dentistry is like, “Wow, which one is the implant? They all look like teeth.” If we can do that then I think we've done what you need to do on top of implants.

- Causing your other teeth to shift out of place
- Leading to bone loss that can change the shape of your jaw
Cosmetic Dental Associates partners with an oral surgeon who will place your implants with precision and care in our office. Dr. Moore will then attach dental crowns or other restorations to your new implants for natural-looking replacement teeth.

Understand the Differences Between Same-Day Smile & All-on-4® Implants
While All-on-4® and All-on-6 dental implant procedures are popular these days, Cosmetic Dental Associates elects to do a true same-day smile. All-on-4 and All-on-6 are generally done with a temporary plastic denture. You’ll return later for your final restoration.
Because plastic is porous, plastic dentures can take on smells and odors that you might find incredibly unpleasant. Our same-day smile services use long-lasting replacement teeth designed in our in-house lab for functionality and beauty.
It’s time to restore the look and function of your smile with San Antonio dental implants. Call us today to schedule your consultation at 210-951-4444. You can also make an appointment online.
