Missing teeth can affect your confidence, chewing, and overall oral health. If you’re exploring dental implants in Burnet, TX, you’re choosing a long-term solution that looks, feels, and functions like your natural teeth. At Burnet Dentistry, Dr. Nancy Yousef and Dr. Tessia Lamison provide quality dental implant restorations.

Understanding what happens during the restoration process helps you feel prepared and excited about completing your smile. Below, we’ll walk through each step so you know exactly what to expect—from your first consultation to long‑term care.

What Makes Dental Implants Different?

Dental implants are unique because they replace a missing tooth’s root and crown. A small titanium (or zirconia) post is surgically placed into your jawbone by a specialist, where it acts like an artificial root. After a healing period, the implant becomes integrated with the bone. That’s when our team steps in to restore the implant with a custom crown, bridge, or denture designed to match your smile.

Because implants anchor in the bone, they don’t slip, click, or rely on neighboring teeth for support. You brush and floss them much like natural teeth, and they help preserve bone health by transmitting natural chewing forces to the jaw.

Your Initial Consultation

Everything starts with a thorough evaluation at our practice. Dr. Yousef or Dr. Lamison will:

• Review your medical and dental history
• Examine your gums, bite, and existing teeth
• Evaluate imaging (X‑rays/CBCT) from your surgeon
• Confirm that the implant is fully healed and ready for restoration

We’ll also discuss your goals and the type of restoration that best fits your needs, timeline, and budget. If you’re still deciding about implants—or don’t yet have one placed—we’ll coordinate a referral to a reputable specialist and outline the likely sequence of care so you understand the full journey from start to finish.

Caring for Your Restored Implant

Healthy gums are essential to the long‑term success of your implant restoration. Daily care includes:

• Brushing twice a day with a soft brush
• Flossing around the implant (using threaders or specialty floss if needed)
• Cleaning under bridges or full‑arch prosthetics with interdental brushes or a water flosser
• Scheduling professional cleanings and exams as recommended

We’ll personalize your maintenance plan, including the ideal cleaning frequency and any specific products that suit your smile.

Common Questions

How long does the process take?

Surgical healing times vary, but the restoration phase typically takes a few weeks from digital impressions to final delivery once your implant is ready.

Will my implant crown match my teeth?

Yes. We customize shade and shape to blend with your neighboring teeth. For the most natural result in highly visible areas, we may recommend a custom shade appointment.

What if something feels off later?

Contact us promptly if you notice looseness, a chip, or tenderness around your implant. We can easily resolve many issues when addressed early.

What if I don’t have an implant yet?

We can evaluate your case, discuss restorative options, and coordinate a referral to a trusted surgeon for placement. After healing, you’ll return to us for the restoration.
