You Can Afford
Elite Care
We are dedicated to eliminating financial barriers that prevent patients from experiencing the benefits of dental implants. Most dental insurance plans do not cover implants (the titanium devices that replace lost tooth roots), but may cover other associated costs such as your crown, bridge, denture, or preparatory treatments.
To help make out-of-pocket costs affordable, our dental office in The Woodlands, TX, accepts financing through LendingClub, CareCredit, and Cherry Finance. We also accept American Express, MasterCard, and Visa.
Why Implants Are the Gold Standard
Traditional tooth replacement options consist of a crown, bridge, or denture anchored in place by a neighboring tooth or denture adhesive. Implants replace tooth roots, connecting your replacement teeth directly to the jaw. For the right candidates, dental implants are the very best way to replace lost teeth because of three important benefits:
Functionality
Dental implants provide the ultimate stability for your replacement teeth. Implant-supported restorations rely on the jawbone for support, which keeps them firmly in place at all times and allows you to eat any tough, chewy, or crunchy foods you like.
Jaw Health
In the absence of tooth roots, the jaw will begin to shrink and change shape. Dental implants replace tooth roots to not only support restorations, but also provide the stimulation the jaw needs to remain healthy and strong.
Longevity
Dental implants are made of durable titanium. With proper care and maintenance, implants can last a lifetime. Our restorations are crafted with premium porcelain and can last up to 15 years, making them an excellent investment in your oral health.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants in The Woodlands, TX
How long does it take to heal from dental implant surgery?
Everyone heals differently, but on average, it takes about three to six months for the implants to fuse to the jawbone. Initial discomfort can be controlled with over-the-counter pain meds. You’ll need to eat a diet of soft foods for about two weeks after surgery, but can slowly introduce more solid foods cut into very small pieces.
How much does dental implant treatment cost?
This is a highly personalized treatment, so you will need to come in for a consultation so we can provide a quote. Your treatment costs depend on several factors, such as the number of implants you need, the type of restoration you require, and the need for any preparatory treatments. Following your consultation, your dentist will craft a custom treatment plan, and we will then be able to provide you with an accurate quote.
Does dental implant placement surgery hurt?
No. Your dentist will thoroughly numb the area before your procedure begins. For those who need an extra level of comfort care, our office in The Woodlands offers sedation dentistry options.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Because your denture, dental crown, or dental bridge is secured directly to the dental implants, they are not removable except by your dentist. You will treat them just as you would natural teeth. Brush and floss twice daily, and attend regular dental exams and cleanings to keep your new smile beautiful and healthy for years to come.
