Dental Implants in Houston, TX
Restore your smile with state-of-the-art dental implants. At The Houston Dentists, we offer permanent, natural-looking tooth replacements that enhance both your oral health and confidence.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium or zirconia posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth, offering a long-lasting solution that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth.
Improved Oral Health
Implants don't require reducing other teeth, as a tooth-supported bridge does. More of your own teeth are left intact, improving long-term oral health and making oral hygiene easier.
Durability and Longevity
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. They're designed to fuse with bone, providing a permanent solution that eliminates the inconvenience of removable dentures.
Enhanced Comfort and Functionality
Implants eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures. They function like your own teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods with confidence and without pain.
Single-Tooth Implants
Ideal for replacing one missing tooth, a single-tooth implant consists of a titanium or zirconia post topped with a custom-made crown. It seamlessly blends with your natural teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics.
Implant-Supported Bridges
For multiple missing teeth in a row, implant-supported bridges offer a stable, long-lasting solution. Unlike traditional bridges, they don't rely on neighboring teeth for support, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
Implant-Retained Dentures
These combine the stability of implants with the coverage of dentures. A few strategically placed implants securely hold your removable dentures in place, eliminating slippage and improving comfort and confidence.
All-on-X Full Arch Implants
This revolutionary technique replaces a full arch of teeth using just four to six implants. It provides a fixed, permanent solution that looks and functions like natural teeth, often completed in a single day.

What to Expect
The Dental Implant Treatment Process
Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation. We'll assess your oral health, take 3D scans, and create a personalized treatment plan. We'll discuss your options and answer any questions to ensure you're comfortable with the process.
Using advanced surgical techniques, we'll place the implant into your jawbone. In some cases, we may be able to place a temporary crown at the same time. We ensure your comfort throughout the procedure with sedation options.
Over the next few months, the implant will fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong, stable foundation for your new tooth. We'll monitor your progress to ensure proper healing.
Once healing is complete, we'll attach your custom-made restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) to the implant. We carefully adjust the fit and appearance to ensure your new smile looks and feels natural.
Frequently Asked Questions
We have answers for you!
Yes, dental implants are a safe and well-established treatment. The success rate for dental implants is typically 95-98%, making them one of the most reliable dental procedures. Our team uses advanced technology and follows strict protocols to ensure the safety and success of your implant treatment.
With proper care, dental implants can last many years, potentially even a lifetime for some patients. The implant itself, which is placed in the jawbone, tends to be quite durable. However, the crown or other restoration attached to the implant may need replacement due to normal wear and tear.
The longevity of both the implant and restoration varies significantly from patient to patient. While some patients may need a replacement crown sooner, others may have the same restoration for many years. This variation depends on many factors including oral hygiene practices, regular dental check-ups, bite forces, grinding/clenching habits, and overall health.
Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene significantly impact how long your dental work will last. Following your dentist's recommendations for care and maintenance is essential for maximizing the lifespan of your implants.
