Dental Implant Components Dental implants provided by our Odessa dentists are composed of three parts: the titanium post, the abutment, and the dental restoration. Dental implant posts effectively serve as artificial teeth roots, granting a dental implant strength and stability similar to that of a natural, healthy tooth.

Crowns A crown is a good way to cover teeth that are discolored or badly shaped. A crown can make your tooth stronger and improve its appearance. Crowns can also be used to attach bridges, protect a weak tooth from breaking or restore one that’s already broken.            Veneers Veneers are thin shells crafted of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front side of teeth. Unlike bonding, it is necessary to remove a small amount of enamel from your tooth to accommodate the shell. Based on a model of your mouth, they are meant to look like your natural teeth.
