A missing tooth changes how you chew, how your jawbone holds up over time, and eventually how your smile looks — our Dental Implants process starts with a CBCT scan so the plan is exact before any surgery happens.
These are the four things patients actually ask about before booking Dental Implants, not a generic checklist we copied from another service page.
Surgical placement is performed under full malpractice coverage and current state licensure, verified before any procedure is scheduled.
Digital planning software lets us preview implant angle and depth on-screen before the surgical guide is even printed.
Bone grafting, if needed, is quoted separately and explained clearly, not bundled into a vague lump sum.
If an implant fails to integrate within the normal healing window, revision options are discussed at no additional consultation fee.
Here's the range of Dental Implants our New Llano team handles most, described the way we'd explain it chairside rather than in marketing language.
One missing tooth, one titanium post, one custom crown — planned from a single CBCT scan and placed under local anesthesia. Temporary options are available so you're never without a visible tooth during healing.
Full-arch implant bridges are planned around available bone, often avoiding the need for grafting even in patients with some bone loss. The final, permanent bridge is fitted once the implants have fully integrated.
Ridge preservation grafting at the time of extraction helps prevent the bone loss that makes future implant placement harder. Grafting adds healing time but significantly improves long-term implant stability.
Which approach we use depends on bone quality and where in the mouth the implant is going. We'll explain which method applies to your case and why during the planning visit.
The final restoration is custom-shaded and shaped to match your bite and the teeth around it. We check occlusion carefully so the new tooth doesn't take on more bite force than it should.
Implants need their own maintenance routine, and we screen for peri-implantitis — inflammation around an implant — at every recall visit. We'll show you the specific home-care technique for your implant restoration.
Here's exactly what to expect, start to finish, for Dental Implants at any of our affiliated offices.
Describe your situation and we'll schedule a CBCT scan and consultation, often within the same week.
The CBCT scan and a same-visit review let you see your own bone structure and hear the plan explained on-screen.
Surgery gets scheduled once you've reviewed and approved the written plan and price.
Implant placement is followed by a monitored healing period, then final crown, bridge, or denture attachment.
We publish these as-is, because that's the only kind of review worth reading before booking Dental Implants.
“I'd put off replacing a molar for three years out of fear of surgery. The CBCT scan showed me exactly what was happening before anything was decided.”
“Full-arch implants gave my mother her bite back. The temporary teeth the same day as surgery made all the difference psychologically.”
“They explained bone grafting clearly instead of just adding it to the invoice. I appreciated knowing why it was actually necessary.”
“Recovery was easier than I expected. Mild soreness for two days, and the follow-up checks caught nothing unusual.”
“The quote covered every stage upfront, so there were no surprise charges when it came time for the crown months later.”
Straight answers to what people actually want to know before committing to Dental Implants.
Most patients complete treatment within four to eight months, with the implant integration phase taking up most of that time.
Discomfort is typically less than patients expect — a few days of soreness rather than significant pain.
We monitor integration at scheduled intervals specifically to catch this early if it occurs.
Not every patient needs grafting; the CBCT scan tells us definitively before we recommend it.
Cost depends on how many implants and whether grafting is needed; you'll get a full written breakdown before committing.
Fit and shade are checked at delivery, and adjustments are made until the bite feels right.
We can usually confirm same-week availability for Dental Implants before you even finish describing your situation.
We coordinate Dental Implants care across New Llano, from initial consultation through final restoration, without referring you elsewhere for imaging. Parking and accessibility were considered when we set up our imaging suite for implant patients.
