One of the benefits of dental implants is their ability to replace damaged or missing teeth in any amount, ranging from one tooth to a whole arch. You may be a good candidate for implants if you suffer from missing teeth, need extractions, or have issues with your present tooth replacement.

In some cases, patients may require bone grafting or other preparatory treatments to enable implant placement.

We look forward to providing you with the best periodontal services and affordable dental implants in Dallas and Ft. Worth.

The process for dental implants begins with the careful placement of the implant posts. Our experienced oral surgeons will use 3D digital imaging and refined techniques to plan and perform your dental implant procedure. As soon as your mouth is prepared for surgery, our team will numb the treatment area with local anesthesia. Oral-conscious or IV sedation services might also be utilized to help you feel more at ease throughout your visit. The fixed screw will be precisely positioned within your jawbone at a specific location, and your gums will be sutured to encourage proper healing. Your implants will then be given a few months to fuse with the bone via a process known as osseointegration.

It's common to experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort for a few days following implant surgery. Prescription or nonprescription pain medicine and cool compresses may be recommended to enhance your post-procedure comfort. When the treatment area has healed, our in-house restorative dentist (no referral required) with your restorative dentist who will place a custom crown, bridge, or full-arch restoration to complete your tooth replacement procedure. Once the metal post has integrated with the jawbone and your custom restoration is attached, it's crucial to follow a good oral health regimen that includes daily brushing and flossing and regular dental checkups.
