Dental Implants in Houston, TX 

A long-lasting choice, implant-supported dentistry brings you as close to new, growing teeth as possible. They’re expertly placed in the same bone that once supported teeth, allowing you to enjoy the strength and function of a natural tooth. Modern porcelains produce a result so life-like, you may forget they aren’t your natural teeth. Dentures can also be attached to implants when more than one missing tooth needs to be replaced. The stability and sense of confidence developed with implants will leave you smiling.

Drs. Nimri and Zingalis use the latest technology to collect all the data necessary to help plan your restorative case. Digital x-rays, 3D mapping, models, and photographs prove valuable. Drs. Nimri and Zingalis work with highly regarded specialists to bring all components of your case together. But at all times, they serve as the quarterbacks of the entire plan.

Surgical Implants

Many patients find implant placement easier than initially anticipated. Various types of sedation may fit your comfort level best, so feel free to discuss them with Drs. Nimri and Zingalis. Modern dental anesthetic numbs the site, and experienced hands carefully place the implant. A tiny guide hole provides a path for threading a small implant cylinder into place. The sterile piece is inserted into an exact location and a smooth cover, known as a healing cap, protects the implant during the healing period.

In some cases, a temporary or permanent crown may be inserted at the time of surgery. Cases involving multiple implants often proceed the same way so that you can smile confidently immediately.

Implants can’t withstand normal bite forces until the bone has integrated fully into the implant body. Drs. Nimri and Zingalis will help you decide what will work best during the initial healing period. This is to ensure that you’re able to function while protecting your implants. This period usually lasts 3-6 months as the bone grows around the implant. Most patients experience minimal discomfort after placement when compared to an extraction.

Restorative Implants

A carefully developed treatment plan, including implant placement, sets a solid foundation for an array of restorative options.

After the healing period, a crown or bridge will be custom-made and attached to the implant with a small screw or dental cement. The customization of your case, from initial planning to final placement, makes all the difference. This allows a full range of services to be considered, from the replacement of one tooth to restoration of the entire mouth. Regardless of your situation, there’s a solution for you.

One of Healthcare’s Greatest Values

Even with all the benefits, the cost of your dental implant procedure is important to take into consideration. When your case brings together the latest imaging, advanced training, and unique material technologies, this service offers one of the best values in modern health care. Compared to the replacement of other structures and joints of the body, most implant procedures can be done at a small fraction of the cost. Most patients can carry on with normal activities right away and enjoy a lifetime of normal chewing and bite stability. We know the cost of dental implants is an important part of creating a plan that works for you.

The cost of dental implants involves several factors that are unique to each patient. A fee that’s quoted without careful evaluation and treatment planning may be incomplete and doesn’t consider what’s best for you. Drs. Nimri and Zingalis will customize your treatment plan after evaluating your current oral conditions, needs, wants, and budget.

One thing is certain: You’ll get the highest value possible in modern implant dentistry. That means years of natural function and a smile that you’re proud to show. We look forward to discussing how we can partner together to determine the best solution for you!
