No modern dental practice would be complete without expertise in implants. And Dr. Enrique Darancou is a true “implant dentist.” Dr. Darancou proudly serves the El Paso, Texas, area with complete implant services.
Implants are the only form of tooth replacement available today that accounts for the roots of the teeth. The implant itself is surgically positioned and secured in the jawbone. Once attached to the prosthetic tooth, the implant provides the utmost stability. Your new tooth is not going anywhere!
El Paso Modern Dentistry is among the select practices with the onsite capabilities to surgically place implants. Dr. Darancou has acquired considerable training, demonstrated partly by his fellowship distinction with the International Dental Implant Association. In addition to his unique level of training in all aspects of the implant process, Dr. Darancou has invested in a wide range of state-of-the-art technologies. These tools support safe and precise treatment planning, surgery, restoration, healing, and the sustained health of the implant-retained crown, denture, or bridge.
Dr. Darancou can restore a single implant with a dental crown or a bridge designed to replace several missing teeth. And, yes, implants are suitable for patients who have lost all of the teeth in their upper or lower jaw. In fact, as few as eight strategically positioned implants may be used to support an upper and lower denture.
Exactly! If we were to replace every tooth root with an implant, the potential trauma, treatment time, and expense associated with that many implants would be prohibitive. Due to our use of advanced techniques and cutting-edge diagnostic technologies, Dr. Darancou places implants to maximize the available bone in the jaw. So, due to this high-performance approach to implant placement, a minimal number of these cylindrical-shaped posts can be applied to retain a maximum number of prosthetic teeth as part of a denture.
You will follow any after-care instructions provided by the El Paso Modern Dentistry team. These instructions help to ensure that your implants heal properly and on schedule. By “healing,” we refer to the process of the implant integrating or growing into the surrounding bone. Only once the implant has effectively become a part of the jawbone can it provide the appropriate foundation for the prosthesis.
Since implants are designed like the “real deal” (natural teeth), they should last a lifetime! Be sure to take good care of your implants and restorations, just as you would your natural teeth and gums. Of course, even the best home care is no substitute for professional care at our El Paso, TX office. Call us at (915) 221-7001 today with more questions and to schedule your visit.
At El Paso Modern Dentistry, we are dedicated to proving our patients and families, personalized and quality dental care using latest technologies. Your smile is very important to us.
