How an implant works

Three parts, one natural tooth.

Because the implant is anchored in bone, it feels steady when you chew, protects the jaw and never slips like a denture.

Titanium post

A small post placed in the jawbone that fuses with the bone over about 3–6 months (osseointegration).

Abutment

A custom connector that joins the post to the visible tooth.

Crown

A porcelain or zirconia crown, shade-matched and shaped to your bite.

Your implant journey

Start to finish in about 4–6 months.

  1. 1

    Consult & 3D scan

    Exam, 3D CBCT scan and a written plan and fee — including whether you need a graft first.

  2. 2

    Implant placement

    The post is placed in one visit under local anesthesia, with sedation available.

  3. 3

    Healing

    Over roughly 3–6 months the bone bonds to the implant. A temporary keeps your smile in place when needed.

  4. 4

    Your new tooth

    We scan digitally — no messy impressions — then attach your custom abutment and crown.

High-Tech Precision

Guided Surgery with 3D CBCT Imaging

A stable foundation starts with a digital blueprint. We utilize advanced 3D CBCT scanning to capture high-definition views of your jawbone structure, nerve pathways, and sinus cavity. This allowing us to plan the entire procedure digitally before it even begins, ensuring precise placement of your implant post for maximum stability and predictable results.

  • 3D CBCT digital planning for predictable, precise implant placement.

Foundation & Sinus Support

Bone Grafts and Sinus Lifts

For a dental implant to succeed, there must be adequate bone volume in the jaw. In some cases, such as when a tooth has been missing for years or a previous extraction caused bone loss, we perform procedures like bone grafting or sinus lifts. These surgical techniques help rebuild your bone to create a foundation that can support your implant.

  • Regenerative grafting for a strong, lasting implant foundation.

Recovery & Restoration

Digital Design for Restorative Results

After your implant post has fully healed, we focus on the restorative phase. We utilize 3D intraoral scanning, completely avoiding messy, uncomfortable traditional impressions, to capture precise digital models of your bite. This data is used to custom-design your healing cap, the permanent abutment (the connector), and the natural-looking restorative crown for a seamless, comfortable fit.

  • 3D intraoral scanning — no messy impressions, custom-designed restorations.

Insurance & Coverage

Does Dental Insurance Cover Dental Implants?

Short answer: most PPO dental plans now cover part of implant treatment — usually the crown, abutment, extraction, or bone graft rather than the implant post itself. We verify your benefits before treatment and file the claim for you.

Delta Dental

Most Delta Dental PPO plans classify implants as a major service and cover a percentage of the crown and abutment once any waiting period is satisfied. Coverage varies by employer group, so we run a written pre-determination before you commit.

Medicare

Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not cover dental implants. Some Medicare Advantage plans include a limited dental allowance that can be applied toward implant treatment — bring your plan card and we will verify it.

Texas Medicaid & CHIP

Adult Medicaid dental benefits in Texas are very limited and generally do not include implants. Children covered by Medicaid/CHIP receive comprehensive dental care, and we accept those plans for eligible patients.

No insurance?

Our starting $2,499 single-implant cash price (qualifying cases) avoids annual maximums entirely, and 0% financing through CareCredit, Cherry, Sunbit, or Alphaeon spreads the estimated cost into monthly payments. Final fees are confirmed after your exam.

We handle the paperwork

We verify benefits, submit pre-authorizations, file claims directly, and give you a written out-of-pocket estimate before any treatment starts.

A Life Restored

Eat, Speak, and Smile with Confidence

Dental implants don't just restore a tooth; they restore a lifestyle. Implants are anchored in the jawbone, so they don't slip the way removable dentures can, and they help preserve bone, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods, speak clearly, and smile broadly without the slipping or speech issues common with traditional dentures.

  • Stable, long-term support that helps protect your jawbone.

Sedation options

Nervous? You can relax through it.

Laughing gas helps with shorter procedures, and IV sedation helps adults (18+) through longer surgery. Both are offered only after a careful review of your medical history.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dental Implants: Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions Houston patients ask about implant cost, timeline, comfort, and candidacy.
Call ⁦(832) 831-9101⁩
How much do dental implants cost in Houston?
Single dental implants at Texas Dental Center start at $2,499 cash price (promotional price through December 31, 2026 — includes the implant post and the restoration/crown). Our regular fee for a single implant with the FDA-cleared Neodent titanium post, custom abutment, and porcelain or zirconia crown starts at $3,500. Bone grafts, sinus lifts, or full-arch cases are quoted separately after a 3D CBCT consultation. We accept most PPO insurance and offer 0% financing through CareCredit.
Does insurance cover dental implants?
Most PPO dental plans now contribute toward implant treatment — typically covering part of the crown, abutment, or any preparatory work (extractions, bone grafts). Medicare does not cover dental implants. Medicaid coverage for adults is very limited in Texas. We verify your benefits in advance, file the claim for you, and offer CareCredit financing for any out-of-pocket portion. Many patients also choose our starting $2,499 cash promotion (qualifying cases) to avoid insurance limits altogether.
Are dental implants safe?
Yes. Dental implants are one of the most studied procedures in modern dentistry, and large studies report that about 95–98% of implants are still in place after 10 years (Howe et al., J Dent 2019). We use FDA-cleared Neodent titanium implants (Straumann Group) and 3D CBCT-guided planning to minimize risk. Serious complications are rare and almost always preventable with proper case selection and home care.
How do dental implants work?
An implant replaces a missing tooth in three parts: (1) a small titanium post placed in the jawbone that fuses with the bone over 3–6 months (osseointegration), (2) an abutment that connects the post to the visible tooth, and (3) a custom porcelain or zirconia crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth. Because the post is anchored in bone, implants preserve the jaw and never slip like dentures.
How long does the dental implant process take from start to finish?
Most patients complete treatment in 4–6 months. The titanium post is surgically placed in a single visit, followed by 3–6 months of osseointegration (the bone fusing to the implant). Once integration is confirmed, we attach a healing cap, take digital scans, and deliver the final crown about 2–4 weeks later. Cases requiring bone grafting may add 3–4 months.
Are dental implants painful?
Most patients report less discomfort than they expected. The area is numbed with local anesthetic, and sedation is available. Soreness and swelling for a few days afterward are common and are usually managed with over-the-counter medication. Individual experiences vary.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper home care and regular professional cleanings, the titanium implant post is designed for long-term use — large studies report that about 95–98% of implants are still in place after 10 years (Howe et al., J Dent 2019). Your result depends on your health, bone, smoking and home care. The restorative crown attached to the implant typically lasts 15+ years before it may need to be refreshed.
Am I a candidate for dental implants if I've been missing teeth for years?
Often, yes. Long-standing tooth loss can cause jawbone resorption, but bone grafting or a sinus lift can rebuild the foundation when needed. A 3D CBCT scan during your consultation shows how much bone is available and whether grafting is needed first.
Do you accept dental insurance for implants?
Yes. We accept most major PPO insurance plans and will verify your benefits and submit claims on your behalf. Many plans now contribute toward the implant crown and any preparatory procedures. For out-of-pocket costs, financing is available through CareCredit and other partners, subject to credit approval; terms vary by lender and plan.
Why no dairy after a dental implant?
We ask patients to avoid dairy for the first 24–48 hours after surgery. Dairy products can cause nausea when combined with post-op antibiotics or sedation medication, and some studies suggest dairy may trigger inflammation that slows early healing. Stick to cool water, broths, smoothies (non-dairy), and soft foods for the first two days, then return to your normal diet.
Does Medicare cover dental implants?
No. Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not cover dental implants or most routine dental care. Some Medicare Advantage plans include a dental allowance that can be applied toward an implant crown or extraction. Bring your plan card to your consultation and we will verify exactly what is available before you commit to treatment.
Does Medicaid cover dental implants in Texas?
Adult Medicaid dental benefits in Texas are limited to emergency care in most cases, so implants are generally not covered for adults. Children enrolled in Texas Medicaid or CHIP do receive comprehensive dental coverage, and we accept those plans for eligible patients. Adults without implant coverage typically use our starting $2,499 cash price (qualifying cases) with 0% financing.
Does Delta Dental cover dental implants?
Most Delta Dental PPO plans treat implants as a major restorative service and pay roughly 25–50% of the crown and abutment after any waiting period, up to your annual maximum. Some employer groups exclude implants or apply a missing-tooth clause, so we submit a written pre-determination to Delta before treatment so you know your exact out-of-pocket cost.
Why do dental implants cost so much?
The fee covers far more than a screw: a 3D CBCT scan and guided surgical plan, an FDA-cleared titanium implant from a premium manufacturer, a custom-milled abutment, a lab-fabricated porcelain or zirconia crown, the surgical visit itself, and every follow-up through final delivery. Unlike a bridge, an implant also helps preserve the jawbone, and over many years it can cost less than replacing a bridge, depending on your case.
How much does a full mouth of dental implants cost in Houston?
Full-arch implant treatment (All-on-4 style) at Texas Dental Center runs about $18,000–$26,000 per arch for the implants, surgery and fixed bridge. Extractions, bone grafting and IV sedation may cost extra and are listed on your written estimate. Both arches typically land between $34,000 and $48,000. Implant-supported overdentures are a lower-cost alternative starting around $9,500 per arch. Every case is quoted in writing after a 3D scan.
What is the cheapest way to replace a missing tooth?
A removable partial denture is the least expensive option up front, followed by a traditional 3-unit bridge, with an implant costing the most initially. Over 15–20 years, however, implants often cost less because bridges and partials need replacement and can lead to bone loss and additional tooth damage. We will price all three options for you at your consultation.
How do I care for dental implants long term?
Brush twice daily, floss around the implant (or use a water flosser and interdental brushes), and keep 6-month cleanings. Avoid smoking, which is the single largest risk factor for implant failure, and don't chew ice or hard candy on the crown. With this routine, over 95% of implants are still functioning at 10 years.
What can I eat after dental implant surgery?
Stick to cool, soft foods for the first 24–48 hours — smoothies (spoon, not straw), eggs, mashed potatoes, soup that isn't hot, yogurt alternatives, and protein shakes. Avoid straws, hot liquids, alcohol, and crunchy or seeded foods for the first week, and chew on the opposite side until we clear you. Most patients return to a normal diet in 1–2 weeks.
How long does pain last after a dental implant?
Most discomfort peaks in the first 48 hours and is fully manageable with ibuprofen and acetaminophen; the majority of our Houston patients stop taking anything by day 3. Mild tenderness or jaw stiffness can linger 5–7 days. Throbbing pain that worsens after day 4, fever, or swelling that grows should be reported to us right away — call (832) 831-9101.
