Implants with the Ankylos System

If you are missing any teeth due to trauma or decay, dental implants offer an aesthetically pleasing way to replace them. While high-tech in nature, dental implants can be so successful at replicating your natural teeth in both appearance and feel that you will hardly remember you lost a tooth.

The advantages to dental implants include:

• Improved appearance. Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth. They are also designed to fuse with bone. This makes the implant a permanent part of your teeth and your smile.
• Improved speech. With ill-fitting dentures, your teeth can slip around in your mouth causing your speech to sound mumbled or slurred. Dental implants allow you to speak freely and easily without having to worry that your teeth may slip.
• Improved comfort. Because they become a part of your mouth, implants eliminate any discomfort that might be caused by removable dentures.
• Improved oral health. Nearby teeth do not need to be altered to support the implant. This leaves more of your own teeth intact and supports your long-term dental health.
• Durability. Implants are very strong and will last many years. With good dental care provided by Houston Cosmetic Dentist, Dr. Nab, many implants last a lifetime. 

If you need dental implants, you have many options available to you – none better than the Ankylos system. 

While many implant systems are similar in their design and engineering, they also share many of the same strengths and weaknesses. One significant weakness is possible microgap, or movement over time which allows for bacterial contamination and the resulting bone loss. The Ankylos system has revolutionized the practice of implant dentistry by eliminating these weaknesses.

With the Ankylos System, Dr. Nabizadeh will use a tapered conical connector that is engineered to eliminate the microgap, and therefore eliminate the possibility of bacterial contamination and bone loss. This is a vast advancement in dental implant technology and a boon to the health and well-being of implant patients. 

Using the expertise gained by years of study and practice, Dr. Nab will place the Ankylos implant just below the crest of your medullary bone to gain the maximum benefit of both hard and soft tissue contours. Ankylos implants placed in the medullary bone are more stable and resilient, allowing the bone to repair itself when stressed. An implant anchored into the medullary bone also yields results that many experienced implant dentists are raving about. Not only is the bone preserved at the crest, in some cases the bone grows over the platform of the implant over time. This means that the bone volume and the tissue volume is preserved, leaving you with a healthier, more aesthetically pleasing smile. 

Ankylos dental implants are a safe and highly effective way to improve your smile and your appearance. To learn more about Ankylos dental implants, please contact us today to schedule a free cosmetic dentistry consultation in Sugar Land, Houston, Katy, Humble, or Galveston, Texas today.
