From his state-of-the-art dental practice in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southridgedental.com\/contact-us.html\">Denton, TX<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southridgedental.com\/meet-the-doctor.html\">Dr. Ted Dunson<\/a> helps patients just like you restore their smiles to full health and beauty with a variety of procedures, including the placement of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southridgedental.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advantages of Dental Implants &amp; Restorations <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While it is true that traditional dental prosthetics \u2013 including full dentures, partials, and bridges \u2013 can effectively help a patient replace missing teeth, these options lack the vital stability and full functionality of your natural dentition. Dentures can slip, slide, wobble, and rub when not fitted properly, and the worry of clicks or other sounds marring your speech can be debilitating in social situations. With <strong>dental implants and custom restorations<\/strong>, <strong>Dr. Dunson <\/strong>can help you reclaim your smile and your bite in a way that not only looks fantastic, but also feels more natural than any other restorative option.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dental implants <\/strong>are tiny, biocompatible posts made of titanium that are surgically placed within the gum tissue and bone of your jaw. Over a brief recovery period, these posts gradually fuse with the bone via a process known as osseointegration. The implants serve as new roots to which your restorations will be affixed. <strong>Dental implants <\/strong>can be used to secure a single crown, a bridge of multiple teeth, or a full denture, depending on your unique needs. You\u2019ll love the freedom that comes with <strong>dental implants <\/strong>and <strong>restorations <\/strong>from <strong>Southridge Dental<\/strong> almost as much as you adore your beautiful new smile.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rebuild Your Smile, Improve Your Life<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whether you are missing just one tooth or you\u2019d like to learn about how <strong>dental implants <\/strong>can restore an entire arch with <strong>implant-retained dentures<\/strong>, <strong>Dr. Dunson <\/strong>and our team are here to help. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southridgedental.com\/contact-us.html\">Contact our office<\/a> today to schedule your <strong>dental implants <\/strong>consultation and see what a difference this revolutionary restorative dental solutions can make in your life.<\/p>\n<p>We look forward to providing you with exceptional dental care in a warm, inviting office atmosphere conveniently located in <strong>Denton, TX<\/strong>.
