Implant Restorations
in Frisco, TX

Implants are an excellent way to replace missing teeth. They are the most natural feeling restoration in comparison to others (such as dentures or bridges.)

What is the Implant Restoration Process?
The first step is to set up your procedure with an oral surgeon or periodontist. Our team works with the best local oral surgeons and periodontists so that you have a smooth experience and recovery. The procedure time varies from patient to patient, along with how many implants are needed.

Typically, implants require 3-6 months to heal. Once your surgeon confirms your implant is fully healed, our team can then take the reins and fully restore your smile.

The next step will be to make an appointment with us for your restoration procedure. We will unscrew and remove the healing cap during this appointment, replacing it with the impression cap. We will take a final impression and send it to the lab to create your permanent implant crown(s.) 

In just a few weeks, your permanent implant crown(s) will be ready. You will then return for your final appointment so that we can finalize your smile by completing the restoration with your new teeth.

Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
You may be a good candidate for dental implants if you have one or more missing teeth, a healthy jawbone with enough density to support the implant, and healthy gums. Ideal candidates are also non-smokers or willing to quit smoking and in good overall health, as conditions like diabetes or heart disease may affect healing. It’s also important to have good oral hygiene habits. A thorough evaluation by our team, including X-rays and possibly a CT scan, will help determine if dental implants are the right option for you.

What is the success rate of dental implants?
Dental implants have a high success rate, typically ranging from 95% to 98%, depending on the location of the implant and the patient’s overall health. Factors like good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and implementing healthy habits can contribute to the long-term success of implants. While complications are rare, they can occur, particularly if there is inadequate bone structure or if the patient has underlying health conditions. However, with proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime, providing a durable and reliable solution for missing teeth.

Can implants be combined with dentures?
Yes, implants can be combined with dentures in a treatment known as implant-supported dentures. This option provides enhanced stability and comfort compared to traditional dentures, as the dentures are anchored to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone. Implant-supported dentures prevent slipping and improve chewing efficiency, making them a popular choice for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth. This solution also helps preserve jawbone structure, preventing the bone loss that can occur with traditional dentures.
