    How Do Dental Implants Work

    Dental implants are a unique solution for tooth replacement, as they are the only restoration that replaces both the root and crown of a tooth. A conventional dental implant has three main components. The main part is a screw-like structure that is surgically placed into the jawbone. It acts as an artificial tooth root.

    It is later attached to a small metal piece called an abutment. It serves as a connector between the implant and the restoration. The restoration itself—whether a crown, bridge, or denture—is the visible part that is custom-designed to look and function exactly like your natural teeth.

    Benefits of Dental Implants

    If you are missing one or more teeth, our dental implants in Houston can offer you numerous benefits, including:

    • Restored functions: Implants replace the entire tooth structure, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
    • Natural-looking results: They seamlessly fill gaps left by missing teeth, enhancing the beauty of your smile.
    • Durability: The implant fuses with the jawbone and acts as a secure foundation for restorations.
    • Low risk of bone loss: When placed in the jawbone, they stimulate the bone cells and help promote bone formation.

    Our Dental Implant Procedure

    At the time of your initial assessment, our dental experts will evaluate your gums, teeth, and jawbone to determine if you are a good candidate.

    Implant Insertion

    We work closely with trusted surgical specialists to ensure expert care throughout the implant process. Using advanced digital X-rays and 3D imaging, we carefully plan the procedure so the implant can be precisely placed into the jawbone for optimal results.

    Healing

    Over the next 3 to 6 months, the implant gradually merges with the surrounding bone. After it has fully fused with the jawbone, we will attach an abutment to prepare for the final step.

    Crown Placement

    Finally, a custom-made crown (or a bridge/denture if more teeth are missing) is secured onto the abutment. It is designed to match your existing teeth and create a life-like finish.

    what our patients say

    I visit this clinic rather often, and the staff is always very nice and compassionate. Dr. Hickerson is a truly kind and honest person. Having interacted with various dentists, I've often noticed that their advice seems driven by business interests rather than a genuine intention to save your teeth. I'm lucky that doctors like Dr. Hickerson are around.

    Dr. Patel is just incredible! My kids and I loved her. She is thorough and explains everything really well. Super gentle, procedure did not hurt at all. She was able to help me avoid much more extensive dental work. I can honestly say we enjoyed going to the dentist!

    I had 3 crowns and 2 fillings (my parents have a lot to answer for!) and it was pain free. Dr. Hickerson and Micah were efficient and also friendly, made sure I was comfortable.
