How Treatment Runs, From First Call to Final Tooth
Implant care unfolds in stages across a few months. Here is what happens at each one.
- 1
Your first call
Describe what is bothering you and we will schedule your $25 focused evaluation. If you carry PPO dental insurance, keep your member details nearby so we can look up your benefits.
- 2
Focused evaluation
The dentist checks the tooth, gums and bite, and digital X-rays show what sits below the surface. A CBCT scan is added when bone depth or nerve position matters. We then plan treatment with you and explain whether the tooth can be repaired or should be replaced, and the reason behind that call.
- 3
Treatment and healing
For an implant, the titanium post is placed under local anesthetic, and over the following months the bone grows tight against it. Many patients wear a temporary tooth during this stretch so no gap shows.

Final restoration and checkups
When the post is solid, we connect the abutment, seat the custom crown, bridge or denture and fine-tune your bite. Routine cleanings afterward keep the gum tissue around the implant healthy.
Dental Implants and the Care Around Them
Most of our patients come in with a specific problem: a missing tooth, a cracked molar, a denture that rocks, or a wisdom tooth that keeps flaring up. We handle dental implants, dentures, root canals, extractions and wisdom teeth removal, plus prompt care when a tooth breaks or starts to ache. Each service page explains how that treatment works, what it costs to plan for, and how we decide between repairing a tooth and replacing it.
Dental Implants
A titanium post, abutment and crown that replace a missing tooth root and all, planned from 3D imaging and placed only when saving the tooth no longer makes sense.
Emergency Dentistry
Prompt care for toothaches, cracked teeth, swelling and lost crowns, with a clear answer on whether the tooth can be saved.
Dentures
Full and partial dentures, relines and fixes for cracked bases, plus implant-retained options when a lower denture won't stay put.
Root Canals
Remove infected or inflamed pulp, seal the canals and protect the tooth with a crown so you keep your own root instead of losing it.
Extractions
Careful simple and surgical tooth removal, recommended only after we check whether a crown or root canal could keep the tooth working.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
We image each third molar, explain which ones are causing harm and which can stay, and remove only the teeth that need to come out.
What Shapes the Cost of an Implant Plan
Two patients missing the same tooth can need very different treatment. Your price follows the work your mouth actually requires, so we image first and quote second. These factors move the number most.
Your estimate follows the evaluation and imaging, broken out stage by stage so each part of the treatment plan is visible. If something changes once treatment is underway, we explain why and ask for your approval before going further.
- How many teeth are being replaced
- Replacing one tooth means one post, one abutment and one crown. A bridge resting on two posts, or a full arch anchored by four or more, adds surgical time, components and lab work at every stage.
- Bone volume at the site
- Once a tooth is gone, the jawbone around the empty socket slowly resorbs. Bone that is too thin or too short may need a graft before or during placement, and an implant in the upper back jaw sometimes calls for a sinus lift.
- Whether an extraction comes first
- A failing tooth still in the jaw has to come out cleanly before anything else happens. In some cases the post goes in at that same visit. In others the socket heals for a few months first.
- The final restoration
- The tooth you see attaches to an abutment, which screws into the post. A zirconia crown, a porcelain crown, a fixed bridge and an implant-supported denture each carry a different lab fee.
- Your insurance and plan choices
- PPO benefits for implants differ a lot from plan to plan. Many policies help with the extraction or the crown even when they cap or exclude the post. We look up your coverage so your share is clear before treatment starts.
A Practice Built Around Straight Answers
Dental Implants Highland Village is a general and implant dental office. Our dentist has over 10 years of experience in both, which means we spend as much time keeping natural teeth as we do restoring gaps where teeth were lost.
Many people arrive expecting to be sold an implant. Often they need one. Just as often, a cracked tooth needs a crown, or an abscessed tooth needs a root canal and can stay for years. We would rather you keep a healthy root than pay to replace it, and when an implant is the smarter move, we explain the reasons with your own images on the screen.
Adults, families and new patients are all welcome, with or without dental insurance. The $89 new patient special covers a full exam and cleaning for anyone who simply needs a starting point.

Questions Patients Ask at the Start
Something not covered here? (972) 483-4293
Can my tooth be saved, or do I need an implant?
That depends on which part is damaged. When decay or infection sits inside the tooth but the root and the bone around it are healthy, a root canal and crown can often keep it working. A vertical root fracture, heavy bone loss or a crack that runs under the gumline usually means the tooth will not last, and an implant is the steadier fix. Your evaluation and imaging settle the question.
How long does the whole implant process take?
Most single implants run three to six months from placement to the final crown, since the bone needs that time to bond to the titanium post. An extraction or bone graft beforehand can add to the timeline. You get a realistic schedule at your evaluation.
Do you take my dental insurance?
Our office participates with 15+ major PPO dental insurance plans. Tell us which plan you carry when you call, and we will confirm whether we are in-network and check what it pays toward implants, crowns and extractions.
What if I do not have dental insurance?
We run an in-house membership plan for uninsured patients that covers routine care for a set yearly cost. Larger treatment can be paid over up to 24 months with 0% interest financing, and checking for preapproval has no effect on your credit score.
Is there a warranty on crowns and bridges?
Yes. Crowns and bridges carry a 5-year warranty. We go over the details at your visit so you know what it includes.
Does getting an implant hurt?
We numb the area thoroughly with local anesthetic, so most patients notice pressure rather than pain while the post goes in. Some soreness and swelling for a few days afterward is normal, and over-the-counter pain relievers usually handle it. You go home with written aftercare instructions.
Should I choose dentures or implants?
Conventional dentures cost less at the start and suit many people, but they sit on the gums and tend to loosen as the jawbone shrinks. Implants, or a denture that clips onto implants, are anchored in bone, which keeps teeth steady and slows that bone loss. We compare both with you at your evaluation.
What happens at the $25 focused evaluation?
It includes a comprehensive exam and digital X-rays, a CBCT scan if your case needs one, and treatment planning with a consultation. The visit centers on one concern, such as a missing or painful tooth, so you walk out with a clear plan for that problem.
Why Patients Choose Us for Implant Care
An implant is a good answer to a lost tooth. It is not always the right answer to a damaged one, and we tell you which situation you are in.
Repair is weighed before removal
A tooth with an infected pulp but a solid root can often be kept with a root canal and a crown. When a crack extends below the gumline or the root has split, the tooth cannot support a restoration, and an extraction followed by an implant usually holds up longer. We put your X-ray or CBCT image on screen and show you what we see.
Over a decade in the chair
Every treatment plan here draws on over 10 years of experience in general and implant dentistry. Knowing both sides helps, since sound implant planning means reading the neighboring teeth, the bite and the gums, not just the gap.
A warranty on the healing phase
After placement, the titanium post has to fuse with the jawbone, a process called osseointegration. If an implant fails during the 4-month healing phase, we replace it at no charge.
3D imaging before any drilling
A CBCT scan maps bone height, bone width and the location of nerves and sinuses in three dimensions. We rely on it whenever an implant or a difficult extraction is planned, so decisions rest on measurements.
Ways to pay that fit real budgets
We are in-network with 15+ major PPO dental insurance plans. Patients without coverage can join our in-house membership plan, which turns routine care into a predictable yearly fee. Bigger treatment can be spread over up to 24 months with 0% interest financing, and the preapproval check leaves your credit score alone.
