Frequently Asked Questions

Our team is more than happy to answer any questions you might have about our practice, our services, or oral surgery in general. Feel free to check out the following FAQs; they cover a number of topics that our patients often ask about.

How Do You Choose a Practice for Dental Implants?

There’s more to choosing the right practice for dental implants than simply typing “dental implants near me” into Google. If you want the best possible results, you should look for an expert who has extensive experience with dental implant procedures. Seeing an oral surgeon for the treatment is often an excellent option since they specialize in dental implant placement.

There are other traits that can help determine whether a practice is a good fit for you, such as how close it is to your place of residence or whether it will accept your dental insurance plan. Think carefully about the traits that matter the most to you, and do your research thoroughly so that you can pick a practice that you can truly rely on when it comes to dental implants in Houston.

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?

The overall cost of getting dental implants depends on several factors, including:

  • The exact number of implant posts you need to replace all of your missing teeth.
  • Whether your dental implants will support a crown, a dental bridge, or a denture.
  • Whether certain preliminary treatments need to be completed before you can qualify for dental implant surgery.

Rest assured that we will always be upfront with you regarding the cost of your care.

Do Wisdom Teeth Always Need to Be Removed?

No. Some individuals are able to keep their wisdom teeth without suffering from any significant oral health issues. To find out whether your wisdom teeth truly need to be removed, you will need to speak to an experienced oral surgeon or your general dentist.

Some of the warning signs that a wisdom tooth extraction is truly necessary in your case include:

  • Wisdom teeth that are unable to fully emerge from beneath the gums.
  • Pain in the back of your jaw.
  • Tender or swollen gum tissue.
  • The growth of a cyst near the wisdom teeth.

Is Bone Grafting Always Required Before Dental Implant Placement?

You can only get dental implants if there’s a sufficient level of bone density in your jaw. As such, if you’ve experienced bone loss as a consequence of missing teeth, you may need to have bone grafting performed before you can move forward with dental implant surgery. That being said, this preliminary procedure is not necessary for every patient. Our team can evaluate your jawbone with a CT scanner to determine whether or not bone grafting will truly be required in your case.
